Additional Information

Why does it sometimes take up to 24 hours for call recordings to appear?

While most recordings will populate relatively quickly, variances in load in different parts of the recording collection and upload process can delay the recordings appearing in the front end. This mismatch between the front end and back end is corrected by processes that run with longer intervals resulting in the increased time between the call and when the recording is available.
