Download your Webex Recordings

First, you must download the recordings that are still used for instruction, training, business operations, compliance, or other ongoing University purposes.

Although the Webex recorder is very efficient in creating small video file sizes, ensure that you have enough space on your computer to download the desired recordings.

  1. Visit UConn Webex and login.

  2. Click on Recordings in the lefthand navigation menu.

  3. View the recordings list

    1. To download a single recording: click on the “download” (downward arrow) icon on the recording in the list

    2. To download multiple recordings at once, check the checkbox on each item that you would like to download and then click Download at the top of the list

  4. If you would also like to download the transcript, keep “.vtt” selected in the popup box.
    Kaltura can generate captions for your videos and may be more accurate than the existing transcript depending on the recording’s age.
    If you would instead like to keep the transcript that was generated by Webex, you may download it now and later upload it using Kaltura's Alignment Service

  5. Save the recording(s) to your computer’s storage drive.

The recording(s) are now on your computer as a regular video file and can be treated like any other file.

Recommended: Upload the recordings to Kaltura

ITS recommends that you upload your videos into Kaltura to ensure:

  • safety of the video files (backed up to the cloud)

  • simple distribution of files (allow others to view)

  1. Visit kaltura.uconn.edu

  2. If you see “Guest” in the top right corner, click on “Guest” to log in.

  3. Click on ADD NEW and then Media Upload in the top-right corner.

  4. Click on the “Choose a file to upload” button to select a file or drag a video file into the upload space on the webpage.

  5. You may add information about the video while the file is uploading.
    Click Save to save the new information you have entered.

  6. You may upload a second video while the first one is processing.
    Be aware of your connection speed to the internet. Too many uploads will cause your overall upload speed to decrease.

  7. When finished uploading files, click on Go to Media to view the video or click on Go to My Media to see all of your uploads.

  8. Your videos will now take some time to process before they can be viewed.

Delete file from Computer

Once your video is in Kaltura and can be watched, you may delete the file from your Computer’s storage drive.
