Q. What do I need to play recordings?
Q. What do I need to play recordings?
A. To play WebEx recordings you should have a sound card; to play recordings on the Web you should
have an Internet connection.
To record teleconferences when using WebEx stand-alone recorder, you should also have:
•
A computer headset (presenters only)
•
A phone headset (preferred over regular phone handsets for presenters who speak during a
teleconference)
•
A phone recording adapter
Note: this is required to connect your phone to your computer. WebEx recommends the
DynaMetric TLP-120 or TMP-636 adapters; the TMP-636 adapter supports bi-directional audio
which is useful for recording audio that contains UCF rich media.
•
A universal amplifier (WebEx recommends the Plantronics MX10 universal amplifier and headset)
Q. Can I play WebEx recordings with any multimedia player?
A. Yes, but you must first download the recording from the WebEx service Web site and convert it to
Windows Media File (.wmv) format, Flash (.swf) format, or MPEG-4 format (MP4). To convert a network-
based recording (.arf) to Windows Media File (.wmv) format, Flash (.swf) format, or MPEG-4 format
(MP4), use the WebEx Network Recording Player.
Note: The WebEx Network Recording Player does not support converting recordings to MP4 format on Mac
systems.
To convert a local recording (.wrf) to WMV format, use the WebEx Recording Editor.
