Recording Your Webex Meeting

Recording a meeting is a great way to share meeting content with invitees who could not make the meeting or other interested people.

Presenter vs. Host

The Host and Presenter vary in roles and responsibilities.  

A host is responsible for coordinating the OLE meetings.  A host, when logged into the meeting, can choose to be the presenter or designate any attendee/participant as a presenter.

A presenter is responsible for providing content during a given OLE meeting.  Because meetings are often conducted without the host, the first person logged in is given presenter rights.  Presenters will have the blue and green ball next to their name.  Presenters can share their screen and allow someone else to be the presenter.

Check Your Settings

1. Start your session normally.
2. Click the Meeting, Event, or Session menu, go to Recorder Settings and verify there is a check or dot beside Record on Server.

Record Your Meeting

In your meeting window select Record located at the top right of the meeting window.

Recording begins immediately.  At the end of your meeting the recording is saved to a file.

Note: You can stop and restart recording during your meeting, but if you do so, you create multiple recording files. To avoid creating multiple files, simply pause and resume the recording as necessary.

Screen Sharing

You can use application sharing to show all meeting participants software or website on your computer.  However only hosts and presenters may share their screens.

From the Share menu (near the File menu on the top left corner), choose My Desktop to share your desktop or Application to choose a specific program.

Alternatively, hosts and presenters can share their desktops or applications from the Quick Start menu (at the center of Webex) and choose from the drop down menu Desktop, or application.

Adding Your Recording to OLE Demonstration Library

If you would like to have more than just a few people listen/watch the recorded meeting, please contact Anne to add it to the OLE Demonstration Library.
