Play a Recorded Call

If your system is configured to record calls, you can use the History Tab to listen to the recordings for the calls you have made and received. 

The topic also covers the task Download or Delete a Call Recording.

You cannot play or delete a recording if it was assigned a playback expiry time that has now expired.

Note: when you play a recorded call, your availability status may be configured by your administrator to change to 'Listening to Recording', which is an unavailable status. You will not be able to receive calls while you are in this status. When you have listened to your recordings, you must change your status to Available manually.
