Play a meeting recording

Hosts can also share the link for each of their recordings. If you missed a meeting, webinar, or training session, ask the host for a link to the recording. Even if you weren't originally invited, the host can still provide you with a link to their recording.

Depending on file size and bandwidth, it can take up to 24 hours for a recording to be ready.

Depending on your organization settings, Webex displays a disclaimer each time that you download or play a recording. Accept the terms of the disclaimer to continue.
