Compliance recording for call queue templates
A call queue compliance recording template defines which recording bot to use and whether the bot must be present for the call to continue (strict recording).
The same compliance recording for call queue template can be used across multiple call queues.
Up to two compliance recording for call queue templates can be assigned to a single call queue.
When a compliance recording for call queue template is changed, all the call queues that reference the template are also changed.
Each call queue configures the compliance recording Default greeting and Default failure greeting individually. Changing the compliance recording call queue template doesn't affect these greetings.
Create the compliance Recoding for call queue template
- In the Teams admin center, go to Voice > Templates and resources.
- Select Templates.
- Select Compliance Recording for Call Queue as the template type.
- Select Add to create a new Compliancde Recording for Call Queue template.
- Enter a Name for the template.
- Enter a Description for the template.
- Select the Compliance Recording Bot resource account from the drop-down list.
- Select the Paired Compliance Recording Bot resource account from the drop down list (optional).
- (Strict Recording) - If the recording bot must join the call before the agent answers, turn on Required before call.
- (Strict Recording) - If the recording bot must be present for the duration of the call, turn on Required during call.
- For compliance-critical call queues, set the Concurrent invitation count to 2.
- Sending multiple invites in parallel reduces join delays.
- Select Save.

- Select the call queue you want to have compliance recording for.
