How to Transfer Cisco Webex Recordings to Kaltura My Media


The storage space for Webex Cloud recordings in the cloud is 25GB. You can record as many meetings or classes as needed within this capacity limit; however, all recordings have a 3 year retention before they are deleted automatically. It is recommended that you download your course recordings and upload them into Kaltura, which has unlimited storage.
