  • Allow users to route calls and set up greetings when Away

Administrators can enable this feature on behalf of users in the Control Hub.

  • Download and playback call recordings using Control Hub

If you're a Control Hub administrator and a compliance officer, you can now play and download recordings directly from Control Hub. However, if you're an administrator but not a compliance officer, you can’t listen or download these recordings. If the administrator permits, end users can still manage their own recordings within the Webex App or User Hub.

For details, see Manage call recording for Webex Calling.

 

  • Summary, action items, and transcript for recorded calls

When a user plays call recordings on the Webex App, they also get the summary, action item, and transcript from the call. Administrators can manage user's access to summaries, transcript, and action items in a recorded call at the organisation level and the user level.

This feature applies to Webex call recording provider.

For details, see Manage call recording for Webex Calling and Play a Webex call recording with a transcript and AI-generated summary.
