    Enable agent screen capture in Dialpad to enhance coaching and training. Admins can enable this feature in the Contact Center settings by selecting "Also Record Agent's Screen." Chrome OS users need to submit a screen capture request to Google. Screen captures are retained for one year and can be viewed in Call History. Multiple screens are recorded if used, and audio recordings are separate. Poor connectivity may cause broken images. Screen capture stops if a call is transferred internally. Agents are notified when their screen is being recorded.

    Frequently asked questions 

    What is the retention period for a screen capture?

    By default, screen captures are retained for one year and then deleted.

    Will I still see audio recordings too?

    Yes. While screen capture does contain audio, you will still get separate audio files.

    Will multiple screens be recorded?

    Yes, if your agent uses multiple screens, both are recorded and visible during playback.

    Why does the image appear broken?

    If you see a broken-up image when reviewing a screen recording, this indicates a period of poor connectivity. 

    Will the screen capture continue to record if the call is transferred internally from a Contact Center (where the screen capture feature is enabled) to a Dialpad user?

    No, this feature is only available to a Contact Center if enabled.

    Will agents be aware their screen is being recorded?

    Yes, the agent will see a notification banner at the bottom of their Dialpad app.
