Split Voice Recordings
XCALLY allows you to record voice calls with a single audio per speaker using the Split Voice Recording feature.
The system will record in stereo and not in mono
This is the first version of the Split Voice Recordings feature. We are still working to better your experience using this new product improvement
Requirements
You need to install the 'ffmpeg' component Command for Debian: apt-get install ffmpeg
And restart the motion service to apply the change
The Split Voice Recordings feature is available for:
Voice Queue Calls automatic recordings (inbound, outbound, internal routes)
Motion Bull Queue Campaign automatic recordings, for all dialer methods
Manual recordings by Agents via Phonebar or WebRTC
From the Settings Menu → go to General → go to Global section and Enable audio split for voice recordings
Stop Recording on Voice Call Transfer
From General settings, you can select this option if you want the recording to stop when a call is transferred (discover how transfer works on this page).
For outbound calls, the recording will be stopped if you switch on the option
For inbound calls, stop recording on voice call transfer works in different ways, depending on whether the transfer is blind (when agent1 transfers the call to agent2 immediately) or attended (when agent1 calls before agent2 and then he transfers to them the call). In case of blind transfer the recording will always be stopped, in case of attended transfer depends on whether the transfer is internal or external.
SCENARIO
Stop Recording on Voice Call Transfer | Transfer Type | Recording |
---|---|---|
ON | BLIND to Internal | 1 REC (Agent1&Client1) |
ON | BLIND to External | 1 REC (Agent1&Client1) |
ON | ATTENDED to Internal | 1 REC [(Agent1&Client1) + (Agent2&Client1)] |
ON | ATTENDED to External | 1 REC (Agent1&Client1) |
OFF | BLIND to Internal | 1 REC [(Agent1&Client1) + (Agent2&Client1)] |
OFF | BLIND to External | 1 REC [(Agent1&Client1) + (Agent2&Client1)] |
OFF | ATTENDED to Internal | 1 REC [(Agent1&Client1) + (Agent2&Client1)] |
OFF | ATTENDED to External | 1 REC [(Agent1&Client1) + (Agent2&Client1)] |
Inbound Calls
Agents → Edit → Record calls to user extension →Inactive (on both agents involved), so recording is not automatic on the agent channel
Client1 calls on a internal route Agent1 (not a Queue which has own settings)
Agent1 starts the registration manually and then transfers the call to Agent2
If you switch ON Stop Recording on voice call transfer:
With Transfer Type BLIND to Internal/External, output will be with a call recording only between Agent1&Client1
With Transfer Type ATTENDED to External, output will be with a call recording only between Agent1&Client1
With Transfer Type ATTENDED to Internal, output will be with a call recording between Agent1&Client1 + recording between Agent2&Client1
If you switch OFF Stop Recording on voice call transfer there will always be an output with a call recording between Agent1&Client1 + recording between Agent2&Client1

Voice recordings and permissions
Based on permissions set in the User Profile, Users can see Voice Recordings on these conditions:
if the user has permission only on Voice Recordings, he can view the Voice Recordings section with an empty table
if the user has permissions on Voice Recordings, Voice Queues and Queue Campaigns, he can view Voice Recordings belonging to assigned voice queues or queue campaigns (internal, inbound, dialer related to queues). So if the user has view of the queues but not the agents, he still views the recordings of the agents assigned to those queues
if the user has permissions on Voice Recordings, Voice Queues, Queue Campaigns and Agents, he can view Voice Recordings belonging to assigned voice queues or queue campaigns and recordings of assigned agents (internal, inbound, dialer, outbound)
if the user has permissions on Voice Recordings and Agents, he can view Voice Recordings belonging to assigned agents (internal, inbound, dialer, outbound). So if the user has a view of the agents but not of the queues, he still views the recordings of the agents even though they were made on the queues
Edit Voice Recordings
With the top-right commands, you can:
Play the recording
Download the audio (full voice recording)
Run Transcribe only
Run Sentiment Analysis only
Run transcribe&sentiment analysis
