6 Ways to Record a Webex Meeting in 2025

Main features

• Schedule the recording of a Webex meeting in advance
• Capture everything you need – audio, screen, and webcam footage
• I love the crystal clear audio from the recordings thanks to the noise reduction feature
• Show keystrokes and mouse actions as you’re presenting
• Take and edit screenshots, then share the results with your colleagues
• Draw on screen while recording to highlight important moments

This is one of those cases where I tend to recommend the option to record with a third-party app. With Movavi Screen Recorder, you can record a Webex meeting as an attendee without permission and having to fiddle around in the actual WebEx settings.

I find it super simple to grab audio and video of ongoing activities on their computer screen. This program will allow you to record Webex meetings in high quality, draw on your recordings, and cut out unnecessary fragments. I also like the option for scheduling which is not always something other recording software provides.

Main features

• No need to install any additional software for recording

Can you record a Webex meeting in the app itself? Sure, there’s a built-in tool in Webex just for this purpose. You don't have to download extra software. I find that it is pretty limited and it has also been unreliable on some devices like Chromebooks.

The function is not supported in the browser version of Webex. As an alternative, you can film the screen to record the meeting. The recording feature is available in the program with a simple click.

• Open Webex and join your selected meeting.
• Now click on the Record button at the bottom.
• If you don't see the button, there’s a possibility that the administrator of the meeting has not allowed it. In this case, you must first ask the administrator to enable the function (not always possible).

Main features

• Wide choice of output formats
• Variety of customizable settings
• Completely free

Apowersoft provides software that can suit a few different needs. I’ve used it for capturing streams and videos from lots of different sources – and video calls. This program offers recordings of the highest quality and also the possibility of uploading the recording directly to various platforms such as YouTube.

I also like that I can record any screen activity without having to be on my PC. You can record conferences via Webex and Microsoft Live Meeting.

Follow these steps to use this program.

1. Go to Apowersoft Free Online Screen Recorder
2. Click on Start recording to start the online recorder.
3. Set the recording mode and range and start recording.
4. Save the video to a PC or upload it to a cloud service, YouTube, etc.

Main features

• Can save recordings to Google Drive
• Picture-in-picture option

I have a lot of browser extension tools that give me more functionality from different software options (including voice calls and conference calls).

Browser extensions can be used on Windows, Mac, and sometimes Android. The disadvantage, however, is that some extensions can leave your system hanging. I’m a Mac user, and it is not always easy to record internal audio with browser extensions.

If you use Google’s Chrome browser, Screencastify offers an easy-to-use option to record videos of Internet activities. The Chrome extension can be found in the browser toolbar after installation and, in addition to browser recording, also has the option of recording the entire desktop.

I like to make sure I manage the files properly in terms of audio and video (and where they are stored). In both modes, the audio output is also taken into account. After recording, you can rename the videos, export them in WebM format or upload them to wherever else you want.

Since only extensions and apps for the Chrome browser can be installed on the Chromebook, you must download the appropriate app from the Chrome web store. Follow the step below to make a Cisco Webex recording using an extension.

1. Make a free download of the Screencastify Chrome app and install the application on your Chrome browser. Proceed to the Chrome web store
2. The extension will be displayed in the top right corner of your browser after installation. Click on it and make the necessary settings.
3. Decide whether just the browser or the entire desktop should be recorded. You can also enable microphone recording.
4. Click Start Recording to record the Webex meeting. With Stop Recording, you finish the recording process. The recording is even faster if you use the hotkeys.
5. Don’t forget to manage your video properly. This could be putting on YouTube or uploading it to your Google Drive cloud. Alternatively, you can only save the recording on your hard drive.

Main features
