Pause and resume call recordings
If your organization records calls for training and quality purposes, then you might prefer not to record any sensitive information. Clone the existing Contact Center Admin (Partner Telephony) and Contact Center Agent (Partner Telephony) permission sets in Salesforce and edit the permission for call recordings. To allow agents to pause and resume call recordings, you must assign the users to a permission set that has the Control Call Headings option enabled for App Permissions. For more information, see Enable secure pause and resume of call recordings.
The Voice Call record page provides the agents with the relevant information during the call and when viewing the completed call records.
