Having to work from home or through a computer comes with the great detail of having to handle different programs about which we often had no prior knowledge. These programs have their own ways of working, as well as their own files when it comes to saving any progress or activity that has been done in them.
Because of this, it is extremely important to have a basic understanding of the various files that we cannot find, as is the case if you have been sent a file with the WRF extension. This is a very particular video file that cannot be opened anywhere, so we will tell you a little about how you can open it below.
What is a WRF file?
Files with extension WRF, is a kind of video file that has been created with Cisco Webex video editor or video creator.
This file is a really special one, not only because of the particular tool with which it is made, but how it was made, since these files are made with the objective of creating content for company training or for video conferences.
It is possible to receive a link to view a WRF file online, but if you have received a WRF file directly, the only option you have to view it is to download the Cisco Webex player to view it.
How to view a WRF file?
In the event that a WRF file was sent to you directly, you have to take into account that you will not be able to see it in some player with special extensions or in an online player. This is because Cisco likes to keep their services and programs exclusive to themselves.
Given this, the only option available to you is to go directly to the Cisco Webex download page and download the specialized player from the links.
Also note that if you want to play an ARF file, it’s also a Cisco Webex file that shares some similarities with the WRF; You must download the specific player for that type of file from the page.
In the event that you have a PC, the job is very simple, since you only have to enter and directly download the player for installation from the Cisco Webex page, the same for Mac OS.
With the player downloaded to your computer, you should be aware that you may have the option to convert the file to another type of format, such as WMV, SFW, or even an MP4 if it is an ARF file that you have received. So if you want to pass on to someone else what you’ve seen on video in a much more specific format, you can use the same player.
But, if it is a WRF file, you will only be able to convert by downloading from the same Webex Recording Converter download page, giving you the opportunity to convert to a WMV file.
On the other hand, if you search the internet, you will find lots of other programs that promise to open a WRF file without any problem, but in order to have the correct access to these types of files, we recommend that you download the official programs, in such a way that you can do everything you need to do with the file without problems.
What if I still can’t open the file?
In the event that you have received one of these files, and you cannot open it through the player you have downloaded, you should pay attention to the extension. There are a large number of extensions that can sound or look similar to WRF, such as WFR, WRP or even TRP.
