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.
  • See a walkthrough of these steps: Scheduling Webex Meetings
