Recording Student Groups in Webex

Webex can be used by students to record conversations in pairs or groups.

Not all students will have the same access to technology and/or WiFi strength so for each pair or group, a “host” student should be identified. The host student will need to have a Webex account activated, and will need to record the meetings when they take place. It would be best if each host student has a laptop or desktop computer with the Webex Meetings app installed that they can use when holding each meeting.

Students can see information on how to activate their Webex account, as well as some quick start info, here: https://webex.rutgers.edu/quick-start-guide/
For students or groups with slower connection speeds, if disruptions in the meeting occur, all users in the meeting should disable their cameras, so that only audio is being transmitted, reducing the amount of data and saving bandwidth.

STUDENTS MUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE RECORDING THE MEETING.

Once meetings have taken place and been recorded, the host student can access the recording from their Webex dashboard at http://rutgers.webex.com. The file can then be downloaded and shared with the instructor.

Students have a 15MB limit on cloud storage within their Webex dashboard, so all meetings should be promptly downloaded, saved, and deleted from their Webex cloud storage so that they will have space in the event that they need to record another meeting.

Alternately, if a student is using a Windows computer, when starting the recording in the desktop Webex app, the student can choose to save the file directly to their computer.
