Recordings

Recordings in the sidebar lists every call recording the system has kept, with a built‑in player, a search, and — for staff who may delete — a bulk‑delete tool. A separate Permissions page controls, per user, whether recording is on and how long recordings are kept.

The recordings list, with the built-in player in the "Record" column.

Searching

The form above the table searches by From (source) / To (destination) and a date range (From/Till). Staff also see a running total: how many recordings are shown out of the total size on disk, in MB.

The player and download

Each row with a recording still on disk shows a standard audio player inline — press play, no extra page needed. A Download link next to it saves the file. A recording that has since been auto‑deleted shows neither: instead the row says "Automatically deleted on …" with the date, so the entry stays as a record even after the audio itself is gone.

ColumnMeaning
DurationLength of the recorded call.
SizeFile size in MB — shown as a dash once the recording has been auto‑deleted (it takes up no disk space any more).
RecordThe inline player, or the auto‑deleted note.
DownloadOnly present while the file is still on disk.

How long a recording is kept

Retention is set per user on the Permissions page (linked from the recordings list, staff only), next to whether recording is Active and Enforced for that user, a disk quota, and a notification e‑mail.

Per-user recording permissions, including retention.
FieldMeaning
ActiveWhether this user's calls get recorded at all.
EnforcedRecording cannot be switched off by the user themself.
Quota (MB)A warning threshold, not a hard limit — passing it does not stop recording.
Keep recordings forUnlimited, a preset (1/3/6/12 months), or Custom number of days.
DaysOnly used when "Custom number of days" is selected.
Warning

Recordings older than the retention setting are deleted automatically every night after 23:00 — a month counts as 30 days. This is a real, irreversible deletion of the audio file; the list entry itself is kept as proof that a recording once existed.

Check

If a recording you expect isn't playable, check whether its row already shows "Automatically deleted on …" before assuming something is broken — that is retention working as configured, not a fault.
