As the host or cohost of a meeting with a paid Webex account, you can record meetings and webinars in the cloud. Your cloud recordings include the participant audio, video, and anything that's shared during the meeting. If you're attending a meeting, you can't record the meeting yourself. Ask the host to record and share the recording with you.

If you start a meeting by phone, you can't record it.

If you sync your stage with everyone, the first person that you add to the stage appears in meeting or webinar recordings instead of the active speaker. If you want to record the active speaker instead of the first person on the stage, contact support.

If you show your camera in front of the presentation when you share content, your camera video won't appear in meeting or event recordings.

Recording format

Recordings in the cloud save in MP4 format.

Recording location

When the recording is ready, it saves to your Webex site. The meeting host can access the recording and share them with the cohost or anyone else that needs it. The host also receives an email with all the details to share and play the recording.

If your meeting is associated with a space, the recording link automatically appears in the space where the meeting took place. Everyone in the space is treated as the host and can access the recording.

Recording settings

You can select the default 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.
