How to record a Webex meeting without a bot
You can record a Cisco Webex meeting without sending a notetaker bot into the call. Reline captures Webex's audio — what you hear through your speakers — plus your microphone, locally on your Mac or PC. No bot joins the meeting and nothing appears in the Webex participant list.
We're aligned on the rollout date — what's the gating risk on the auth flow?
The refresh-token edge case. Once that's covered we can ship to the pilot cohort.

How to do it
Open Reline on macOS or Windows and start a recording before or during your Webex call.
Run the Webex meeting as usual — Reline records the system audio it plays plus your microphone, on your own machine.
Stop recording when the call ends to get a transcript with speaker separation and an AI summary in seconds, with the audio kept for playback.
Get consent first where it's required — bot-free recording removes the visible bot, not your duty to tell people.
Why bot-free
Webex's own recording and many third-party notetakers either need host permission or join as a visible bot. Reline never joins the call, so there's no bot for Webex or your IT policy to block — and the conversation stays natural because no recorder is announced.
Frequently asked
- Does Reline join my Webex call as a bot?
- No. Reline records Webex system audio and your mic locally; nothing joins the meeting and no participant is added.
- Do I need to be the Webex host?
- No. Because Reline records on your own machine rather than through Webex, you don't need host rights or cloud recording enabled.
- Does it transcribe non-English Webex calls?
- Yes — Reline transcribes 60+ languages and auto-detects the language. Transcription and AI summaries run in the cloud, not on-device.
