Things to Know Before Recording a Meeting
•In Release 7.0.3 (MR2), an audio participant must have joined the meeting before you can record a web meeting.
•You can record audio, audio and web, or audio and video meetings. Make sure that you archive any shared documents or screen captures of annotations separately.
•To host a video meeting, you must have permissions to host a video meeting in your user profile.
•Whether or not you can record a meeting is dependent on the permissions of the meeting scheduler. If the "Can Record Meetings" parameter is set to Yes in the user profile of the meeting scheduler, any user with Moderator permissions can start a recording. If this parameter is set to No, no one can start a recording.
Note If you are scheduling a meeting on behalf of another user, the recording permissions are inherited from the user profile of the user for whom you are scheduling the meeting.
•You cannot record a breakout session.
•You cannot record a continuous meeting.
•System-generated voice prompts that play into a meeting are automatically recorded.
•The Record Meeting window, which is displayed in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web meeting room, gives you the option to change the default recording name and add a summary. The default recording name is the same as the meeting ID.
•When you automatically record a collaborative meeting, the recording begins automatically after the first user attends the meeting.
•In a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web meeting, when you set a meeting to be automatically recorded, the recording begins when the first user enters the audio component of a Collaborative or Presentation meeting, or when the moderator joins a Webinar meeting.
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace has a system limit for scheduling maximum concurrent recording sessions. Any recordings that start within the time period of the scheduled meetings is counted against the limit of the maximum concurrent recording sessions during this time period.
Note There are 100 maximum concurrent recording resources available. Any meeting that is scheduled where the user profile has "Reserve resources for recording" set to Yes counts against the maximum concurrent recording.
•Meeting recordings can be started, stopped, and restarted several times during a meeting. This results in separate recording icons for each audio/web session on the Playback page. Recorded audio-only or audio/video files appear as a single icon.
•If a meeting is being recorded on an internal server and then the meeting is promoted to an external server, you will lose the web recording that occurred on the internal server. However, all audio recordings under this condition are maintained. After the promotion to the external server, you will need to manually restart the recording to capture the ongoing meeting.
•You must retrieve recordings from external servers within 24 hours. After that, you will have to access an internal server to retrieve the recording.
•You cannot record a Cisco WebEx meeting by using the keypad sequence on your phone. This is true even for audio-only meetings that were scheduled to use Cisco WebEx web conferencing. To start or stop recording from a Cisco WebEx meeting, use the functions available in the web meeting room. For more information about Cisco WebEx recordings, see the Cisco WebEx Recording and Playback FAQs.
•Video-enabled meetings are restricted to a maximum meeting recording length of 6 hours, even if no video participants actually attend. See your system administrator for details.
•Cisco Unified MeetingPlace does not support the editing of meeting recordings.

Recording a Meeting from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Meeting Room
When you record a meeting, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace creates an audio, audio/video or audio/web recording, depending on the type of media in the meeting. Video recordings can only be made if your user profile is configured for hosting a video meeting
After you begin recording, 
displays at the right side of the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Before You Begin
•You must be a moderator.
•You must be in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web meeting room.

Troubleshooting Tips
•If the meeting scheduler does not have recording privileges, no one will be able to start recording from the web. If this occurs, try to start recording from the phone by pressing #61. Your profile must have the Able to Record parameter set to Yes in order to start recording from the phone.
•You can start, stop, then restart the recording several times during a meeting.
•If you are escalating this meeting from an internal server to an external server, make sure that you manually restart the recording when everyone joins on the external server. Any recording made on the internal server will be lost during this process, but users will have access to the recording you make on the external server.
•If you start a recording from the web meeting room but hear an audio prompt stating that the recording could not be started, your meeting will result in a web-only recording with no audio.

Recording Meetings Automatically
Depending on your user profile, you can configure Cisco Unified MeetingPlace to automatically record your meetings.
If you are recording an audio/web meeting, the Flash recording begins when the web portion of the meeting starts; any audio recorded before this point is available only in the audio-only recording. After the recorded meeting has ended, the original MP4 file from the Application Server is used to extract audio into MP3 audio files and put them in sync with the web recording. If the MP4 contains multiple start/stop recordings, these are separated into separate MP3 audio files that are put in sync with the proper web recordings.

Listening to a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Recording
Meeting recordings are available after the meeting has ended. It may take some time for recordings to appear, depending on the processing load on the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server, but you can choose to listen to a meeting recording as soon as it becomes available. The format of the recording depends on settings that are configured by the system administrator.
For audio/web meetings, two recordings are created: an audio-only recording and Flash recording (which plays back in Adobe Flash Player on your desktop). The Flash recording gives a synchronized playback of the audio and the meeting console during the meeting. The Flash recording begins when the web-conferencing portion of the meeting starts; any audio recorded before this point is available only in the audio-only recording.
Your ability to listen to recordings is dependent on settings in your user profile.
Before You Begin
•This procedure supports recordings made from a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web meeting.
•If the meeting associated with the recording was restricted to profiled users or required a password, you will require this additional information to listen to the recording.
•If the meeting associated with the recording was from a meeting that was escalated from an internal server to an external server, check the external server for the meeting recording.
•You can only download audio and audio/video meeting recordings. You cannot download integrated audio/web recordings.
•Make sure that you have installed a media player that can play MP3 files. Quicktime is the supported media player for playing video recordings.

–The meeting has not yet ended.
–The meeting has recently ended and the recording is not yet available.
–The meeting was not recorded.
–The recording has been purged from the system and is no longer available.
•In some cases, the `processing now' system message might take a little while to display after a recorded meeting has ended.
•If you playback a web recording that does not display the list of participants in the Participant List, try to restart the playback.
