Summary
WebEx recordings are always downloaded in the WebEx '.ARF' format, which can only be viewed using the WebEx Network Recording Player.
Using this player, it is possible to convert recordings into an MP4 video which can be shared with anyone.
This is only possible using Windows; WebEx does not currently support MP4 conversion on macOS. |
