Webex: Saving to Webex Cloud vs Desktop

Question

Saving to your Webex Cloud vs Desktop

Answer

There are two ways of saving a Webex recording:

  • Webex Cloud
  • Desktop

Saving to Webex Cloud

Saving to Webex's cloud has its benefits.  Recordings will automatically generate a meeting summary, transcripts, and saved meetings chat. A written transcript is required if posting content online and in the learning management system (LMS), Blackboard.

NOTE: Video processing takes twice as long as the recording while it generates a transcript and other resources from a meeting. Please review your transcripts and summaries for accuracy.

1. Start a personal meeting in Webex.

2. Click the Record button.
