Call Recording

Recording is controllable rather than all-or-nothing: recording can be started and stopped on a call, and recordings can be listed, streamed, downloaded or deleted afterwards. A single recording can also be exposed through a shareable stream, which is what you need when a dispute requires giving one specific call to someone outside the system.

What Recording gives you

Record calls, retrieve them through the dashboard or API, stream them in the browser, and share a specific recording by link.

Start and stop within a call

Recording is an operation on the call, so sensitive segments can be handled deliberately rather than by recording everything.

Retrieve by call or in bulk

Recordings can be listed for the account or fetched for one specific call, via dashboard or API.

Stream without downloading

Play a recording in the browser for review instead of downloading files onto a reviewer's laptop.

Share one recording by link

A public stream endpoint exists for the case where a single call has to go to a customer, insurer or regulator.

How Recording works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Recording starts on a call, automatically or on request.

  2. 2

    The call proceeds; recording can be stopped mid-call if needed.

  3. 3

    When the call ends the recording is stored and linked to the call record.

  4. 4

    Reviewers stream it in the dashboard, or fetch it by API.

  5. 5

    Individual recordings can be shared or deleted as required.

What Recording does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • Recording notice and consent obligations are yours to meet and vary by jurisdiction. The platform records; it does not decide whether you are permitted to.
  • Retention duration, storage location and encryption posture are deployment questions - confirm them for your account rather than assuming a default. Do not assume a stated retention window.
  • Automatic transcription and sentiment scoring are separate capabilities and should not be assumed to come with recording.

Common uses

  • Dispute resolution
