To convert other file formats to the "Webex Local Recording Format" file type, you need software like Webex Network Recording Player or a similar tool.
About WRF files
A .WRF file is a local video recording created by the Cisco Webex meeting software. Users generate these files when they record a meeting directly to their local hard drive instead of the Webex cloud. The file captures screen data, audio, and participant interactions during the session. To view these files, users must install the Webex Network Recording Player. The .WRF format uses a highly proprietary codec. This means standard video players like VLC, QuickTime, or Windows Media Player cannot open it. The biggest disadvantage of the .WRF format is its strict lack of portability. You cannot upload a .WRF file directly to YouTube, embed it on a webpage, or share it with clients who do not have the Webex software installed. Users must convert .WRF files into standard formats like MP4, WMV, or AVI. Converting to MP4 provides the best compatibility across mobile devices and web browsers. During conversion, the video becomes a flat media stream, meaning interactive Webex elements like chat panels or polling data are visually baked into the video or lost entirely. Because the .WRF format relies on closed, proprietary Cisco algorithms, standard online converters almost always fail to process it. Emphasize that often only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your WRF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert WRF file to MP4, WMV, PDF, AVI, MOV, FLV, WEBM, MKV, M4V, 3GP, OGV or ASF, you can use Webex Network Recording Player or similar software from the "Local Meeting Screen Recording" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

The WRF Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our WRF converter.
