As the host of a Webex meeting, you can record the session for reference or to share it with other participants later.

You can make two kinds of recordings: local recordings on your computer, or recordings that are stored in the cloud on Cisco's servers for you. You can find either kind of recording in just a few clicks.

Be aware, though, that you can only make cloud recordings with a paid subscription to Webex. Otherwise, you can only make local recordings.

How to download a Webex recording from the cloud

If you made a cloud recording with your paid subscription, you can locate and download it from the Webex website.

1. Open the Webex website in a browser and log in if you're not already.

2. In the navigation pane on the left side of the webpage, click the "Recordings" icon. It's the round circle just above the gear-shaped "Preferences" icon.

3. Find the recording you want and click "Download." Then, specify where on your computer you want to save the file.

How to find local Webex recordings

You can also make local recordings of your Webex meetings. If you are using a free account, this is your only option, in fact.

When you record a meeting, Webex opens a folder dialog to let you choose where it will save the recording. After the meeting is over and recording is completed, it will generally take Webex a few minutes to process and save the file, but this is where you can find it.
