Call recording allows you to keep a record of your phone conversations. These recordings are helpful for tracking important details, reviewing discussions, training purposes, and protecting both your team and customers by keeping a clear record of what was said.

Recording calls can improve communication accuracy, reduce misunderstandings, and increase accountability across your business.

Legal requirements and disclosure

Some regions legally require you to inform people their call is being recorded. VXT helps you with this by providing automated recording announcements, so you can stay compliant without extra steps.

  1. While on a call, locate the call pop-up window.
  2. Click the Record button to begin recording:
  3. You can also toggle this button to stop recording at any point during the call.

💡 Note: When a call is recorded, you can then transcribe and summarize the call after it ends. If you want to automatically record calls heres a guide for that.

How to turn off automatic call recording
