How to Record Webex Meetings: 4 Simple Methods

Recording Webex meetings ensures you capture important discussions, action items, and decisions for future reference. Here are four simple ways to record Webex meetings efficiently.

1. Use Webex’s Built-in Recording Feature (For Hosts and Co-Hosts)

Steps to Record a Webex Meeting

Webex provides a built-in recording feature, but only the host or co-host can initiate the recording.

• Start or Join a Webex Meeting as the host or co-host.

• Click the Record button in the meeting toolbar.

• Choose Record on My Computer (local recording) or Record in Cloud (if enabled by your organization).

• Click Stop Recording when the meeting ends.

• Access your recordings in the Webex portal (for cloud recordings) or your local drive (for computer recordings).

Limitations

• Participants cannot record unless the host grants permission.

• Cloud recording may be limited based on your Webex plan.

2. Use MeetMinutes for Automatic Recording and Transcription
