Call Recordings
All of BCH's live call services can be recorded if required, and recordings can be stored on our cloud storage service for up to seven years. Before configuring any services with call recording please check with the ICO to ensure you are acting within the current GDPR regulations.
Accessing your recordings is available via the Call Handling option within the Management Portal menu.
Access Levels
The first user to access the call recording application is automatically granted "Admin" rights, which allows them to manage the access rights of other users.
A Standard User, only has access to search and playback recordings, with the option to download call recordings if granted by an Admin in the Users section.
An Admin user, has full access to all facilities, including the ability to change other users to Admin Users.
