Troubleshooting unrecorded calls

Learn why your calls aren't being recorded and how to resolve common recording issues like canceled meetings, short conversations, or recorder access problems.

Recording settings overview

Whether a call gets recorded depends on several factors:

  • Individual data capture settings for each company participant on the call.
  • Company-wide recording configurations.
  • Consent profile settings.
  • Actions taken during the call, such as stopping the recording.
  • Whether recording was scheduled for that meeting at all.

Calls excluded from recording criteria

Some calls do not meet the recording criteria when scheduled, such as:

  • Face-to-face meetings or meetings without a web-conference URL.
  • Meetings scheduled by your customer.

These meetings still matter for deal activity and will appear in Outdoo AI if detected.

Troubleshooting skipped recordings

Some calls may not be recorded due to specific circumstances at the start of the call. Outdoo AI shows the reason when you hover over the skipped recording icon. Below are the common reasons and what to do about each one.


Skipped recording reasons and actions

1. Canceled

The meeting was canceled, deleted from the organizer's calendar, or declined by the organizer. Confirm with the host whether the meeting was canceled.

2. Conversation too short

Calls shorter than 30 seconds are not recorded. Outdoo AI requires audio activity for processing. Make sure calls last longer than 30 seconds and include audio.

3. Could not be processed

A minor issue occurred with the video conferencing provider. Contact Outdoo AI Support and provide the call URL.

4. Recorder denied from joining

The host enabled a waiting room but did not allow the Outdoo AI recorder to join. Confirm with the host that the recorder is permitted to enter the meeting.

5. Recorder dismissed

The host removed the Outdoo AI recorder from the meeting. Verify with the host whether the recorder was dismissed.

6. Recorder stopped recording

The recorder left the call after a few minutes because it could not see participant details. Update settings to make sure the recorder can view participant information.

The meeting link is invalid or incorrectly formatted. Confirm the link is accurate in your conferencing provider's settings.

8. Invited too late

The meeting was scheduled less than 30 minutes before its start time. Schedule meetings further in advance, or use the impromptu scheduling option.

9. Meeting was full

The meeting reached its maximum participant limit. Check the maximum participant limit for your web conferencing provider.

10. No show

No participants joined the call except the host. Make sure participants join via audio channels.

11. Password required

The meeting room required a password that was not included in the invite. Include the password in the web conference link.

A participant did not consent to recording. Recording cannot proceed without consent.

13. Schedule changed

The meeting was rescheduled, and the original meeting appears as skipped. Join at the rescheduled time.

14. No VoIP

VoIP access was disabled by the meeting host. Make sure VoIP access is enabled in the host's settings.

15. Internal meeting

Some organizations only record meetings with external participants. Check organization settings and consult your admin.

16. Technical issue

A minor issue occurred with the conferencing provider. Contact Outdoo AI Support and provide the call URL.
