Recorded Modalities

It is possible to define which modalities should be recorded for each extension.

    • Voice - Records voice calls for this extension. To define which directions should be recorded, refer to the Recorded Directions section below.
    • Instant Messaging - Records IM when using Cisco Jabber or SfB/Lync.
    • Video - Records the video streams for this extension. To define which directions should be recorded, refer to the Recorded Directions section below.
    • Desktop Screen - This option enables the screen capture function for the given extension - user association. Computers with installed Verba Desktop Recorder application are enabled to record desktop screen activity into video files in conjunction with the voice recording. The system allows screen capturing for users logging into Windows with the same user ID as configured in the Verba system. After the user logs into Windows, the Verba Screen Capturing Service queries the central database with the Windows user ID and determines if there is any extension for the Verba user matching the same login ID, where screen capturing is enabled. This option is only available if a user is selected for the extension. On-demand recording mode is not supported for extensions, where screen capturing is enabled.
    • Screen & Application Share (Lync/SfB) - This is a Lync/SfB only feature. The option enables Screen and Application Share recording for the extension. Only External sessions can be recorded (sessions that are traversing the Edge servers). Screen Sharing can be recorded for Cisco deployments, for that the video modality needs to be turned on.
    • Whiteboard(Lync/SfB) - This is a Lync/SfB only feature. The native Lync Archive needs to be turned on for this feature to work.
    • Poll / Q&A(Lync/SfB) - This is a Lync/SfB only feature. The native Lync Archive needs to be turned on for this feature to work.
    • File Share(Lync/SfB) - This is a Lync/SfB and Cisco Jabber only feature. In the case of Lync/SfB conferences, the native Lync/SfB Archive needs to be turned on for this feature to work. In case of Cisco, the Managed File Transfer has to be enabled.
    • SMS - Records SMS messages. An SMPP connection has to be set up.

To see exactly which modality can be recorded and for which platform, refer to the Modality and recorded platform support matrix article.

Recorded DirectionsYou can define, which conversation direction should be recorded for the given extension. For more information please refer to the Conversation direction and modality support article.-
Record Calls Answered by 3rd Party

The Record Calls Answered by 3rd Party configuration option makes it possible to record calls that were answered by a 3rd party for a certain extension. So for example, even if the recorded extension transferred the call to an external number and neither of the participants is a recorded user in the new session, the conversation will still be recorded.

    • Forwarded - Record calls that have been forwarded from this extension.
    • Transferred - Record calls that have been transferred from this extension.
    • Team Call - Record calls that came in via a team call to this extension's team, but someone else answered.
    • Delegated - Record calls that have been delegated to someone else from this extension.

These calls will be assigned to the user that this extension belongs to so that the user can access them.

This setting is available for Skype for Business (Lync) and Microsoft Teams Voice/Video/Screen-share deployments.

In the case of Microsoft Teams, the forwarded calls can not be differentiated from team calls at the moment.
