SIP Call Recording

Activating call recording on your SIP trunk

Call recording is available on your SIP trunk. This is how you activate it.

You can activate call recording on all calls across your SIP trunk – or selectively record calls on select phone numbers.

Calls can only be recorded if your account is on a paid plan.

 

Activating call recording on your SIP trunk

Call recording is disabled by default. To activate call recording on your SIP trunk, sign in to the web app,  and click on the Settings button and then select Phone numbers -> Call recording.

Here are the options:

  • Enable call recording
    Turn on or off call recording company-wide.
  • What calls should be recorded?
    Record all records all calls (excluding on-net calls between team members).
    Let me select can be set to either All incoming calls or All outgoing calls or Allowed.
    Allowed means that call recording can be activated per phone number or user.

 

Only activate call recording if you know that recordings can be done without breaking the law in any country touched (your location, the location of the phone number and the location of the other person being recorded).

 

Where can I find the recordings?

The recordings are currently only available via our old customer Portal. There you can see a list of all your call recordings, listen to them, download them and delete them in the call recording section.

  1. Your Call recordings are shown in the Call Recording section shown after you sign in to our old web portal.
  2. Click on View next to a recording to open it.
  3. You can listen to the recording, download it or delete it.
Admin users can see all call recordings account-wide. Each user can see their personal recordings.
Recorded calls may include the ringing or early media played by local carriers before the call is answered.
