How does automatic call recording work in OpenPhone?

You never have to worry about hitting record when you start a phone call with a contact in OpenPhone. When you set up each phone number in our Business plan, you can turn on automatic call recording in your number settings. Playback your recordings seconds after your calls end. 

Don’t want to record every single call? You can always hit the record button when you’re on a call. When you turn on automatic call recording, you'll get AI-powered summaries and transcripts for every call — not just the ones you remember to record manually.

You can record both incoming calls and outgoing calls with OpenPhone. Recordings are available in your OpenPhone workspace as long as you have an account — all without having to pay extra for storage.

“After evaluating 6 or 7 other vendors, we found that only OpenPhone checked all the boxes. It's just worlds better. We love using the round robin option, which rings other staff members if someone's unavailable, so that client calls are serviced in a timely fashion.”

How do I activate automatic call recordings?
down arrow

Automatic recordings are included in OpenPhone’s Business and Enterprise plans. To set up automatic call recording, follow these instructions from our web or desktop app:
1. Go to "Phone Numbers" in your Workspace settings.
2. Select the phone number where you want all calls to be recorded (your team's shared number, for example).
3. Scroll down, and hit the "Auto-record calls" switch.

Note: You’ll need to have Admin permissions in your OpenPhone account to turn on this setting,

How do callers know a call is being recorded?
down arrow

It’s best to let callers know their phone call is being recorded at the very beginning of their call. You can include this disclaimer in your phone menu greeting before callers speak with anyone at your company, or one of your team members can inform callers at the beginning of each call. We recommend adhering to the standards outlined in two-party consent laws, which are designed to protect your company from consent violations no matter where calls originate. Learn more about two-party consent laws here.

How long are recordings stored in OpenPhone?
down arrow

Automatic call recordings are saved in OpenPhone as long as your account is active and you maintain that phone number in your workspace. Whenever you record phone calls, we want you and your team to have easy access to these calls and transcriptions in the future.

Can I download call recordings?
down arrow

Yes. If you wish to download any of your automatic call recordings, click “...” next to that recording, and then select “Download.”

How do I play back call recordings in OpenPhone?
down arrow

You can play back automatic call recordings within the OpenPhone app on web, desktop, or within any Android / iOS mobile device. Simply select a specific conversation which contains a phone call recording, and then play back that recording via the play button.

How do I automatically record calls in an Android phone or iPhone?
down arrow

If you want to record calls for personal use in your Android phone, you have multiple options:
1. Use the native Google phone app in your Android device (most Android phones have a native recording feature)
2. Use a third-party Android app (like Cube ACR or TapeACall Pro)

If you want to record calls in an iPhone, you’ll have to download a third-party app from the App Store because Apple doesn’t offer a native call recording app. 

While using a native call recording app may be fine for personal use, it doesn’t cut it for business communications. That’s why you need a business phone system like OpenPhone. 

Learn more about recording calls in Android and iPhone call recording on our blog.
