Recording Webex meetings can be incredibly beneficial, whether for attendees who wish to revisit the discussion or for those who couldn’t make it to the live session. This guide will walk you through the steps to record Webex meetings both locally on your computer and in the cloud, ensuring you capture every important moment.

Prerequisites for Recording a Webex Meeting

Before you start recording, ensure that:

  • You have a Webex account, and you’re either the host or co-host of the meeting.
  • Your account type (free or paid) supports recording.
  • Your site administrator has enabled recording permissions for your account.

How to Record a Webex Meeting on Your Computer

  1. Starting a Recording: Once you’re in the meeting, look for the Record button in the meeting controls. Click it and select the option to record on your computer​​​​.
  2. Managing Your Recording: You can pause and resume the recording at any time, which is particularly handy for lengthy sessions​​.
  3. Saving and Accessing Your Recordings: By default, recordings are saved in the Documents folder on Windows and the Home folder on Mac. You can choose a different save location if you prefer​​.

How to Record a Webex Meeting in the Cloud

  1. Initiating Cloud Recording: Click the Record button and select the cloud option. If you’re using a mobile device, tap More, then Record​​.
  2. Recording Considerations: Decide if you want a transcript of your meeting, and choose your recording layout if your meeting setup requires a specific format​​.
  3. Accessing and Sharing Cloud Recordings: Cloud recordings are accessible through your Webex site. You’ll receive an email with a link to the recording once it’s processed, which may take up to 24 hours​​.

Finding Your Webex Recordings

You can find your local recordings in the default save locations mentioned earlier. For cloud recordings, log into User Hub, and navigate to the Recordings panel to access your files​​.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I record a Webex meeting if I am not the host?
If you’re not the host and wish to record a Webex meeting, you’ll need the host to grant you recording permissions. Only the meeting host or co-host can initiate a recording. If you need a recording of the meeting, ask the host to record it or to make you a co-host so you can record the meeting​​​​.
How do I enable recording in Webex?
To enable recording in Webex, the site administrator must grant recording permissions to your account. If you’re the host or co-host of the meeting, you can start a recording directly from the meeting controls. For cloud recordings, ensure your account has cloud recording enabled. If you’re unsure about your recording permissions, contact your site administrator​​​​.
Can you automatically record Webex meetings?
Yes, Webex allows for automatic recording, but this feature needs to be set up by the site administrator. With automatic recording enabled, all meetings can be set to record automatically when they start, eliminating the need for manual initiation. This option is perfect for organizations that want to ensure every meeting is recorded without relying on hosts to remember to start the recording. Contact your site administrator to inquire about setting up automatic recordings for your meetings​​​​.
