How to Record a Webex Meeting on Windows/Mac/iPhone/iPad/Android?

If you frequently use Cisco Webex for online meetings, training sessions, classes, or team collaboration, recording meetings can help you save important content for later review and sharing. However, many users are still unsure how to record a Webex meeting. This article will introduce several ways to record Webex meetings in detail. Whether you are the meeting host or a regular participant, you can choose the method that best suits your needs.

Part 1. Can I Record a Webex Meeting as a Participant?

Can I record a Webex meeting if I am not the host? Yes, you can record a Webex meeting as a participant, but Webex's built-in recording feature is generally limited to the Host or Co-host. If you are a regular participant, you may not see the Record option unless the host grants you recording privileges, such as making you a co-host. If you cannot obtain permission or prefer not to request it, you can use a third-party screen recorder to capture the meeting's video and audio on your computer. However, always inform the host and other participants and comply with applicable privacy laws and meeting policies before recording.

Part 2. How to Record Webex Meetings on a Computer?

If you want to record a Webex meeting with audio and video on a computer, here are four ways you can try.

2.1 Record Webex Meetings Using Webex Built-in Recording Feature

If you are the host or co-host, you can easily record a Webex meeting using its built-in recording feature. The biggest advantage of this method is that it does not require you to install any additional software.

Here is how to record a Webex meeting as the host using the built-in recording feature:

Step 1. Open your Webex meeting and click the "Record" button in the bottom-right corner of the meeting controls.

Step 2. If your account supports local recording or cloud recording, Webex will ask you where you want to save the recording. Choose "Cloud" or "Computer" based on your preference, then click "Save".

Step 3. Once recording starts, a small pop-up will appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You can use it to quickly pause or stop the recording whenever needed.

2.2 Record Webex Meetings on Windows/Mac via Screen Recorder

For participants who want high-quality Webex recordings without relying on the host's recording permissions, Screen Recorder is a convenient option. It can capture everything displayed on your computer or phone screen while recording both system audio and microphone input. This allows you to record a Webex meeting with clear video and audio in a single recording.

Key features of Screen Recorder:

• Record a Cisco Webex meeting as a participant on a laptop.

• Support screen recording on both Windows and Mac.

It is a built-in Windows screen recording tool that can quickly capture app windows or screen activity, making it suitable for recording a Webex meeting. However, it offers fewer recording controls than dedicated screen recording software, so it is better suited for quick Webex recordings rather than situations that require advanced recording settings.

Mac users can also use the built-in QuickTime Player to record a Webex meeting. Here is how to record a Webex meeting on Mac via QuickTime Player:

Step 1. Join your Webex meeting and open QuickTime Player on your Mac.

Step 2. Click "File" > "New Screen Recording" and select the Webex window as the recording area.

Step 4. Click "Record" and return to the Webex meeting and continue the meeting.

Step 5. Click the "Stop" button in the menu bar when you want to finish recording.

Step 6. Save the recording to your preferred location.
