How to Record on Webex? A Beginner’s Guide

Recording meetings on Webex ensures you have an accurate record of key discussions.

But if you're new to the platform, the recording process may seem confusing. Don’t worry!

This guide will walk you through how to record on Webex, so you can get the most out of your meetings!

Who Can Record Webex Meetings?

In Webex meetings, the power to hit the record button is determined by the host. Here's how it works:

• Hosts: By default, only hosts can record meetings. They have the authority to start, stop, and manage recordings.
• Co-hosts: Co-hosts can record meetings only if the original host is absent. Once the host joins, they regain control over recording.
• Presenters: Presenters can share content but cannot record unless granted permission by the host.
• Attendees: Attendees cannot record meetings. They must ask the host for permission to record. If allowed, the host can share the meeting recording link after the session.

How to Record Webex Meetings as a Host?

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you record Webex meetings:

On Computer:

• Click the Record button: Once your Webex meeting begins, hit the “Record” button, which is usually located at the bottom right-hand corner of your screen.
• Choose a save location: If you have a paid Webex account, a prompt will appear asking where you'd like to save the recording.  Pick your preferred save location - either the cloud or your computer.
• Hit the Save button: Tap “Save” to begin recording. A small popup will then appear in the bottom right corner, allowing you to pause or stop the recording.

On Phone:

• Open the Webex app: Launch the Webex app on your phone. Make sure you're signed in to your account.
• Start or Join a Meeting: Tap the “Start Meeting” button to begin your own meeting. If you’re joining an ongoing meeting, tap the “Join” button instead.
• Start Recording: Once the meeting begins, tap the “Record” button at the bottom of the screen. A notification will confirm that the recording has started.
