Call Recording

Every business call, recorded and ready to replay.

Turn on call recording for any Talkroute number and every incoming or outgoing call is recorded automatically. Play recordings right from call history, download them, and decide exactly who on your team can listen.

Incoming and outgoing

Record the calls you need, in either direction.

Record Incoming Calls

Recording settings

Switch on recording for any number.

Open a Talkroute number’s settings, turn on call recording, and choose whether to record incoming calls, outgoing calls, or both. From then on, recording happens automatically. There’s nothing for your team to remember on each call.

  • Separate switches for incoming and outgoing calls
  • Set it number by number, so you only record what you need
  • Choose a recording notification for callers to hear
  • Record or upload your own notification message

Listen & download

Find the call, press play.

Recordings live with the call they belong to. Open any call in History & Reporting in the Talkroute web or desktop app to see whether it was recorded, play it right there, skip to the part you need, or download a copy.

  • Play recordings inline from call history
  • Scrub to any point in the call
  • Download a copy for your records
  • See at a glance which calls have a recording

Call recording permissions

Decide who can listen, number by number.

Recordings can be sensitive, so access is up to you. In Users & Permissions, give each team member Disabled, View Only, or Full Access for every recorded number. Managers can review and delete recordings, while reps only hear the lines they work on.

  • Disabled: no access to that number’s recordings
  • View Only: listen to recordings
  • Full Access: listen to and delete recordings
  • Set separately for each user and each number

Learn more about users & permissions.

Manage your recordings

Keep what you need. Remove what you don’t.

There’s no limit on how many recordings you store, and they stay available until you decide to delete them. Team members with Full Access can permanently remove a recording, and exported call reports show which calls were recorded.

  • Unlimited recording storage
  • Delete individual recordings with Full Access
  • Call report exports include a Recorded column
  • Downloads in a standard audio format

Use cases

Why businesses record their calls.

Train new hires

Play real calls in onboarding so new team members hear what great service sounds like, and what to avoid.

Week one: new reps listen to your best five support calls.

Coach your team

Review calls with each team member and give feedback based on what was actually said, not what anyone remembers.

Monthly 1:1s: review two recorded calls together.

Settle disputes

When a customer remembers a quote or a promise differently, go back to the recording instead of arguing about it.

“You said $400”: the recording shows what was agreed.

Confirm orders and details

Double-check an address, an order, or a phone number without calling the customer back.

Was it Unit 4B or 4D? Replay the call and check.

Improve sales calls

Record outgoing calls on your sales line and learn which pitches and answers actually close deals.

Outgoing only: record the sales line’s calls, not the front desk’s.

Keep client records

Keep a record of important client conversations alongside the rest of your call history.

Client calls: recorded, stored, and easy to find later.
