The following procedure applies to Webex sites that you manage using Webex Site Administration. If your site is CI-linked, the retention feature options appear dimmed in Site Administration. Use Control Hub to manage linked sites.


All new Webex accounts include a full year of unlimited recording storage. By default, the system moves recordings over 365 days old to the trash.

We recommend that you set your retention policy to keep storage below the cap for your site. Monitor your site requirements and purchase more storage if required.

For up to 30 days, you can restore deleted recordings from the trash. After 30 days, the system permanently deletes the recordings from the trash.
