Cisco Webex is an app-centric, cloud-based service that provides a complete collaboration suite for teams to create, meet, message, call, care, white board, and share, regardless of whether they’re together or apart—in one continuous workstream before, during, and after meetings. It is built to help teams work seamlessly. It is simple, secure, complete, and open, and provides a space for people to work better. The core capabilities of Cisco Webex are Meetings, Messaging, and Calling. The Cisco Webex platform, app-centric design, hybrid services, and architecture of Cisco Webex create a unique and differentiated service. For more information on the solution, refer to Cisco Webex.
Cisco Webex Meetings provides a Messaging API that VFC is able to use to retrieve content from Webex Rooms.
The Webex Import Source uses the Webex Messaging API to list and download available recordings, query and add participants prior to ingest.
Separate recordings are created for each recorded Webex user. Each recording contains details of all meeting participants.
For a general description of Verba Import sources, please refer to Import sources.
...
Firewall access must be arranged as two way internet communication is required between the Import Source and Webex. The Import Source server and port number is specified in the Webex Integration redirect URI. It is fully configurable and can be over HTTP or secured via TLS over HTTP.

| ACR Hostname or IP Address | Mandatory Name of ACR CRS (Central Replay Server) |
| ACR Port | Mandatory Port Number of ACR CRS (Central Replay Server) |
| TLS Certificate File or Thumbprint | Optional certificate file / certificate thumbprint used for the ACR connection. |
| TLS Key File | Optional file system location where the certificate key is stored. |
| TLS Key Password | Specify the password for the file that contains the certificate keys. |
