Recording a phone call
With FortiVoice, the following two types of phone call recordings are available:
- Personal recording: You can access your phone call recordings from the FortiVoice user portal.
- System recording: With the administrator privilege, you can access phone call recordings from the FortiVoice web-based manager.
Before you begin
- To allow an extension to perform a call recording: Make sure to apply a user privilege with the personal recording or system recording option enabled, as applicable, to that extension. To enable recording options, the FortiVoice system administrator can go to Phone System > Profile > User Privilege and then Monitor/Recording.
- To allow an extension to access a personal call recording from the FortiVoice user portal: Make sure to apply a user privilege with the call recording option enabled to that extension. To enable the call recording option on the FortiVoice user portal, the FortiVoice system administrator can go to Phone System > Profile > User Privilege and then User Portal.
- To view codes: Personal and system recording procedures in this section use the default feature codes for recording phone calls. To view or edit those codes, the FortiVoice system administrator can go to Call Feature > Feature Code > Mid-Call/DTMF Code.
