Network-Based Recording: Recorded Video Resolutions and FPS 

The Network-Based Recording (NBR) feature allows the meeting host and participants to record the meeting and 

play the recording of that meeting at some later time. Refer to the Cisco WebEx NBR user guide for more 

information about the NBR feature. 

Table 5 provides the default maximum encoding parameters for P2P and multipoint video mode with NBR, and 

Table 6 gives the average storage size when using NBR.

Note:   Note: Webcam videos are stored as the original resolution during NBR recording. However, during NBR 
playback the playing video resolution is restricted to 180p. 

Bandwidth Data 

Bandwidth measurements for this paper were taken primarily on Cisco WebEx Meeting Center. However, note that 

the underlying architecture for WebEx services is common across all Cisco WebEx meeting services (Meeting 

Center, Training Center, Event Center, and Support Center) and uses the same network traffic. 

For this paper, the bandwidth requirements were measured under the following conditions and scenarios: 

● 

Idle (single static presentation slide, no changes, and no slide transitions) 

● 

Presentation share (single file uploaded to meeting) 

● 

Desktop and application share 

● 

Integrated WebEx VoIP (public switched telephone network [PSTN] audio was not part of this test) 

● 

Video (various web cams in HQ and HD modes) 

These test scenarios were created to emulate typical usage circumstances and identify how much network traffic 

resulted from these activities. The test also identified the high and low ranges of expected traffic to help you better 

understand the potential impact of WebEx on your network. 

Measurements were conducted by using various development tools. For the baseline, the test measured idle 

network traffic to help ensure information packets were not influenced by other network activities. Each test was 

executed multiple times to get an average result for each scenario.
