Add Webex Recording to My Media

Instructors are able to download recordings made in Webex and then add them to their Kaltura My Media in D2L, allowing for closed captioning and embedding in D2L courses.

  1. When inside of a Webex Meeting, launched within a D2L course, select the Record button from the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
  2. Next, select the Save to the cloud option to later download as an MP4 file.
    Save to the cloud

    Note:

    Do not choose the “Save to my computer” option, as this only records in a proprietary file format that will not be compatible with Kaltura.

  3. Select Record and conduct your meeting. To stop the recording, select the Record button.

    Note:

    The processing of recordings in Webex may take some time.

  4. To download the recorded meeting as a video file, from within a D2L course, select Webex from the Communications menu.
  5. Within Webex, select the Event Recordings tab, and select View Recordings for the meeting you wish to view.

  8. Within My Media, select the Add New menu and then select Media Upload.
  9. Select the Choose a file to upload button to navigate to the file on your computer, select the file, and then select Open on a PC or Choose on a Mac.
