Trim the beginning and end of your Webex Meetings or Webex Webinars recording
list-menuFeedback?
Remove unwanted portions from the beginning and end of a video-centric recording so that it starts just as the speaker starts and ends when the meeting finishes. If there's a "Let's wait a few minutes before we start," comment, a pause at the beginning of the recording, and chatter at the end of the recording, you can trim those out.

This feature is available for video-centric network-based MP4 recordings.

The feature isn't available for data centers in China or Video Platform version 1.0 sites. FedRAMP-authorized Webex sites must upgrade to Webex for Government to get the feature with Video Platform version 2.0. For browser requirements, see Browser support for video-centric network-based MP4 recordings.

If you shared a video file using Share File during the meeting, webinar, or event, the MP4 recording won't be saved in video-centric format.

The trimmed recording is only available when played back from the Webex site or the recording link. When downloaded and played back, the full recording is available.
