Webex - How to Record, Share and Recover your Recorded Webex Sessions

Record meetings for people who can't attend or for those who want to refer back to what was discussed. Your recordings can only be saved to the Webex cloud which can be accessed at uwmadison.webex.com
Notes 
  • All recordings have a 150 day retention policy.  Recordings older than 150 days will be placed into the trash where they can be recovered if needed for 30 days.  Once the recordings are removed from the trash, you will no longer be able to access your recordings.  This is in line with Zoom's recording policy.
  • These steps apply to Webex Meetings and Webex Webinars
  • Only the host or an alternate host can record a meeting. All Webex accounts have access to record their sessions in the cloud
  • If an alternate host records the meeting, the meeting host still receives and owns the recording after the meeting ends

Recording Format

Recordings in the cloud are saved in MP4 format and use H.264.

Recording settings

  • You can select the screen layout for your recordings so they fit the format and content of your meeting or event. You also have the option to record a transcript of what was said during the meeting.
  • If your meeting is associated with a space, you can't change the settings.

Recording the Meeting

1. From the navigation bar, select the Record button outlined below. 

2.  Once you select the record button it will ask you to start the recording. Press Record.

3. Once the Record button is selected, an audio message is played saying, "This meeting is being recorded". In the upper right corner it states "Recording in progress" with a red record icon. The recording in progress words stay on only a few seconds, but the red record icon remains until recording is stopped.

Note - Participants that join late after recording has been enabled will have the audible message played as soon as they enter the meeting.
