General Questions
Q. What tools does WebEx provide for recording, editing, and playing recordings?
A. With the WebEx recorders you can record everything that happens in a WebEx meeting; audio, video,
chat conversations, notes, etc.
There are two options for recording a WebEx meeting: Network-based recording (Record on Server) with
the Network-Based Recorder (NBR) and Local recording. When using Network-based recording, no
additional hardware is required. All meeting content is automatically recorded on the WebEx servers and is
easily accessible.
If you want to change the recording, such as making it shorter or eliminating sections where nothing
important is happening, we provide another tool that allows you to change it. If you save recordings to
your WebEx service site, you can publish the recording on a Web page so that others can play it or
download it to their computer.
Choose from the following players and recorders:

player to convert recording to Windows Media Format (.wmv), Flash format

editing is supported on the recording properties on your WebEx service Web
site, such as truncating the beginning or end of the recording, and removing
panels such as video, chat, etc.
