Call Recording Overview

How does call recording work
Recording types
You can set up call recording for extensions, trunks, conferences, and queues respectively.
- Extensions: Record all the calls of the specified
extensions, including the internal calls and external
calls.Note: Paging/Intercom call and voicemail on the specified extension would not be recorded.
- Trunks: Record all the calls on the specified trunks,
including inbound calls and outbound calls.
For example, for employees who use a dedicated trunk to deal with customer issues, the system only records all the calls on this trunk.
- Conferences: Record the conversation of all members who join the specified conference rooms.
- Queues: Record the calls based on the specified
queues.
For example, an agent logs in to two queues (Service and Support), and call recording is enabled for Service. The system can record all the calls from Service, but not record the calls from Support.
Recording prompts
By default, the system does not play any prompts when a call is being recorded.
To ensure that recordings are lawful and callers have given their consent, you can customize recording prompt for internal calls, inbound calls, and outbound calls respectively. The system plays the recording prompt before call recording begins.
Recording management
- For users: The users can monitor and switch call recording status on IP phones and Linkus Clients.
- For administrator: The administrator can manage the recording files, and grant permission to other users.
Recording auto cleanup
You are given the option to clean up recording files by preservation days. The oldest recording files will be automatically cleaned up when the recordings reach the maximum preservation days.
