Vonage Contact Center can record all inbound and outbound calls. You can configure the call recording settings for your account or even individual calls.
Call recording restrictions may be subject to local regulations. If in doubt, notify callers that you intend to record the conversation and obtain their express permission to do so.
Inbound call recording
Configure rules for inbound call recording within your individual interaction plans—for example, you might configure one interaction plan to record all calls, another to record a percentage of calls, another to record calls from specific callers, and another to record calls based on specific options on a menu.
For information on configuring call recording, see Call Recording applet.
Outbound call recording
Outbound call recordings are controlled by an account-wide setting, meaning that all outbound calls by all agents are treated the same; outbound calls are either recorded or not. Contact your account manager to enable or disable outbound call recordings.
Third-party call recording
When an agent transfers a call that is being recorded to a third-party outside of Vonage Contact Center, by default, the call recording continues. Contact your account manager to configure call recordings to stop if required.
Call recording toggle
If you want greater flexibility over the recording of calls (usually for regulatory reasons), agents can stop and start a call recording part way through using a call recording toggle in ContactPad. Contact your account manager to enable the call recording toggle if available on your account.
For information on using the call recording toggle in ContactPad, see Pausing and resuming call recording.
Accessing recordings
When a call is recorded, the recording is stored in Vonage Contact Center. For information about finding and listening to recordings, see Call Recordings.
Agent-only call recording
The agent-only call recording feature results in the Vonage Contact Center recording only the agents involved in a call. The recorded agents include the original agent, a consulted agent (or supervisor), an agent (or supervisor) to which the call is transferred, and any agent (or supervisor) who is added to a conference call. The caller, or customer, is NOT recorded.
A consulted phone number is never recorded, even if the phone number is the number of an agent. To ensure that the consulted agent is recorded, click to select the required agent from the list of agents rather than typing in their telephone number. For information about different ways to consult an agent, see Working with an inbound call.
Agent-only call recording is available for both inbound and outbound calls. The feature is available at account level—you cannot apply the feature to individual calls. Contact Vonage Contact Center to enable agent-only call recording.
