What is WRF file?
The file in the WRF format belongs to the Web Files category. It was designed by Cisco Systems. In addition to this file, the Web Files category includes 303 related files. WebEx Recording appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open WRF file?
The most common problem when using WebEx Recording is that a specific WRF is not associated with the program. This causes the file WRF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WRF file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install WebEx Player
In this case, you should first verify that the WebEx Player application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WebEx Player into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support WRF files.
Programs to open WRF file
Remember to download programs supporting WRF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WebEx Player with WRF files
If, despite the installed application, the WRF file does not start in the WebEx Player application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WRF file with the WebEx Player program.
Step 3. Update WebEx Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the WebEx Player program, it is possible that WebEx Recording requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Cisco Systems, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WRF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The WRF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the WRF file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WRF file. However, remember that not every infected WRF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WRF file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged WRF files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Cisco Systems
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WRF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the WRF file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the WRF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WRF file again. However, some background programs may block the WRF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
