XML: <Record>
The Record verb allows call recording. A call recording event containing the recording URL is generated after the recording is stopped.
- If the
<Record>verb is within a<Transfer>verb, it is used to record both the caller and called party audio. The recording will stop only when one of the party disconnects. - If the
<Record>verb is outside averb, only the called party audio is recorded. This is similar to situations where voicemail is recorded. maxDurationcan be specified to stop recording after a specified period. Additionally, the caller can press aterminatingDigitto stop the recording. The recording will be in a single channel per file (mono recording).
