Zendesk Talk: 'Recording not available' Issue

Learn why your Zendesk Talk recordings show 'Recording not available' and how to resolve it.

Why is my Zendesk Talk recording showing as 'Recording not available'?

If you're seeing 'Recording not available' in your Zendesk Talk recordings, there could be several reasons.

For Zendesk Talk users, it might be due to the recording being too short, silent, or manually deleted. It could also be because your Talk subscription isn't active, or the call ended before any audio was captured. Additionally, if call recordings were disabled for a specific number, or if the ticket was closed before the recording was added, you might encounter this message.

For Talk Partner Edition users, the recording might not be available if it's no longer hosted where it was originally stored, or if you lack permission to access it on your voice provider's platform. For more details, check out theoriginal article.
