Using the Stratus web portal and our products, you and your users can record calls. To be able to record calls, call recordings have to be enabled. Call recording can be enabled for your whole business, a specific user, or a call queue through the Stratus web portal.
Note: If you would like to learn more about call recordings and how you can enable call recordings, review this guide:
Record Calls as a Stratus User
IMPORTANT: If call recordings are enabled, SpectrumVoIP will host the recordings in the web portal for 30 days. After that time has passed, the call recording will no longer be available to listen to or download. This time can be extended at an additional cost.
If you would like to extend your call storage time for your account, you can speak with our Billing team by calling (469) 429-2500 and selecting Option 2 or emailing billing@spectrumvoip.com.
Another alternative is to have all call recordings pushed to a virtual drive as seen in this guide.
If you would like to push call recordings to cloud storage or a virtual drive, contact our technical support team by calling (469) 429-2500 and selecting Option 4, emailing support@spectrumvoip.com, or sending in a ticket using our knowledge base or our support website.
Once call recording has been enabled, you can download and listen to any calls that have been recorded. To do so…
