Record a Call

  • Updated

Dialpad lets you record calls, and then you're able to listen to or download these recordings later on.

Call recording assists in tracking specific details of a conversation. Recall a talking point, or leverage the recording as a concrete record of what has been said and agreed upon during a meeting.

You will not see call recording as an option unless the Office Admin has enabled this feature; therefore, request it with the Office Admin if unavailable on your account.

If you're looking to record a call from a mobile device, visit our Help Center articles on iOS and Android.

Let's take a look at recording a call in Dialpad's desktop app.

Enable During Active Call

If you'd like to turn off call recording at any time, select the Record button again.
