This article is for students, faculty, and staff seeking information regarding Webex's Record feature and accessing their recorded Webex meetings. Users can share their recording with a public link, or restrict their link to UConn members. Users also have the option to download an mp4 file of their recording.
There are new Recording options, please view this guide to learn about them: Webex Recording Options
Recording Location
Webex recordings are automatically saved in the cloud where they can be shared and downloaded if necessary.
Unlimited Cloud storage
A transcript will be automatically generated. Learn about Webex Transcripts.
If you lose power or drop out of the call, the recording will continue.
Recording can be downloaded as an mp4 file.
Content and Participant videos remain separate. You may switch between viewing content and presenter, or just the presenter. Note: If you download the recording, the .mp4 file on your hard drive will not have this feature.
Recording occurs on the Webex server to ensure to highest possible quality. Cloud recording does not rely on your bandwidth.

How to Record a Meeting as Host
Begin the Meeting
Click on the Record button in the bottom row of buttons in the window
You may begin and stop the recording as many times as you wish. Each recording will be a separate file in your My Recordings list. If you do not want to create separate recordings, use the Pause option.
Pause or Stop the Recording
Once again, click on the Record button to make the small window pop up. Make the choice of pausing the recording, stopping the recording, or click the small X in the top-right of this window to close the window and continue recording.
When you click Stop, another window will pop up asking if you are sure that you want to stop. This window will remind you of your ability to pause the recording in case pausing is more appropriate.
Set Scheduled Meetings to Record Automatically
You have the option of setting Scheduled Meetings to record as soon as they begin. This will remove the worry of forgetting to start the recording and missing important information. You may also trim the recording if confidential contents are shared before or after you would have normally started/ended the recording. If your Meeting is set to automatically record, you may still pause, stop, and restart the recording as you desire. Each recording will be a separate file in your My Recordings list.
When scheduling the session, click on Advanced options then Scheduling Options to expand the scheduling options menu.
Check the box for Automatic Recording.
