How to record a phone conference call

Getting started:

• Make sure you have registered the phone number that you will use during your interview recording session.
  • You registered at least one phone number when you signed up
  • To register more numbers see: Register your phone number[s]

• Confirm how to do three-way calling from your phone

Step 1: Place your call to the conference phone number and enter code as host or participant

Step 2: Use your phone’s three-way calling capability to call your favorite Evoca phone number when all participants are on the conference call

Step 3: After you hear the Evoca welcome message and the beep,  join the Evoca line with the conference call line

• Recording begins as soon as you hear the beep.
• Conduct your conference call

Step 4: Save the recording when done. Choose either one of these two methods:

• Hang up the entire phone call, both the conference line and the Evoca line

or

• Release the Evoca line to stop the recording, and continue with the conference call.

Step 5: The recording is immediately saved to your Evoca account in the My Recordings dashboard in your My Home page

• From the dashboard, you can immediately playback or download the recording, change the title and security setting from Private to public, email it to call participants [you can email it as a Private recording], post it to a private or public web or blog page, or post it to Facebook of Twitter. You are in control.

You also can start the recording session by first calling the Evoca number and then bring in the conference phone number using your three-way calling feature.

About participant consent

In some states in the U.S. and in certain countries you can proceed to record with single-party consent  – just you. In other locales, you must get the consent of other callers. Check local laws that may require call participants to agree to the recording prior to starting the session. The Berkman Center for Internet and Society provides more information in its Citizen Media Law Project.
