Introduction #
Today, even small business owners are empowering themselves with call recording systems. Hence, it is critical that you use a beep tone generator in your recorded phone calls if you want to keep yourselves away from legal compliance and be courteous to your customers. VoIPTools is now ready with 3CX Recording Beep that inserts an audible beep into your recording phone calls to initially alert and then prompts the call participants at regular intervals that the phone call is being recorded. This ensures that the callers are aware of the ongoing call recording. It also contains legal requirements for phone recording in some of the U.S. states and other countries.
What’s new? #
- Activate multiple IVRs at a time.
