Capture session history through call recording in Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile

  • Article

Technicians can use call recording in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile to comprehensively document their video calls with remote collaborators. For businesses, it's important to keep a record of different incidents on a daily basis. Often, these records are kept through paper trails or text-based collateral. Operations managers, technicians, and business decision makers can use call recordings for:

  • Reference for follow-up work
  • Validation that the maintenance and repair process was completed correctly
  • Training material

Call recording is available only for one-to-one or group calls in Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile. After the call ends, the call recording is automatically uploaded to OneDrive for Business. After the recording is uploaded, all call participants can access it via their Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile call text chat or Microsoft Teams chat. The Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile user who started the call recording can also see it in their OneDrive for Business folder.

The following chart explains which call participant can initiate a call recording in each type of call with a Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile user:

Call type Can a Dynamics 365 Remote Assist mobile user record? Can a Dynamics 365 Remote Assist HoloLens user record? Can a Teams desktop user record? Can a Teams mobile user record?
