But if you have downloaded the video on to your computer, you need the Webex Network Recording Player to watch the video. Now, if you have the URL to the ARF file, you can just click the link and stream it online without any need for a player.

ARF files, you can record the desktop, multiple applications, and file shares. Even if you’re using the latest Webex Meetings (WMS33.6 and later) and Events (WMS33.6 and later) sites that support the newest MP4 format, ARF format is still the most widely used and the default in most sites.Īlthough slightly lesser in quality than the MP4 files, it offers a wider range of recording content. The chances of you coming across an ARF file are pretty high. These are also called Network Based Recordings (NBR). The meetings that you record to the cloud have the extension “.arf”, hence, the name ARF files.
