Webex Recording Options

With Webex, students, faculty and staff can customize their recordings' look and layout such that it differs from the Meeting's look and layout. Users can set up the recording to show all participants, only the active speaker and content, or only the content, regardless of what your view was during the meeting.

Getting Started

You will need to first access the Webex site to customize your recordings. To do so, 

1. Navigate to the UConn Webex page.

2. Click the green UConn Webex Login button. 
   

3. Click the blue Sign In button in the top-right corner of the window. 
   

4. Enter your UConn NetID and password to sign in.

Changing Recording Options

To change your recording options, 

1. Select the Preferences option in the left-hand menu, as shown in the image below. 
   
2. Click on the Recording tab. 
3. Here, you will see the option to turn off Recording Transcripts. Please note: transcriptions (captions) are required for public-facing videos. Videos created for your class, to be seen by your students, are not classified as public-facing.
4. Choose from the first set of view options. 
   • Video Thumbnails View: This option will record the content as well as the thumbnail of each participant.
   • Active Speaker View: This option puts more emphasis on the content by only showing the thumbnail of the active (i.e., speaking) participant
   • Content-only View: This option puts the most emphasis on the content by only showing the content. No participants will be seen, even if they were sharing video during the meeting.
5. Choose the layout for when there is no content being shared.
   • Grid View View: This option will record the last (up to) 25 users who have spoken.
   • Active Speaker and Thumbnails View: This option will record with emphasis on the current speaker, as well as the thumbnail of the last few speakers.
   • Active Speaker only View: This option only records the Active Speaker.
