Recording - CometChat Docs

This section will guide you to implement call recording feature for the voice and video calls.

Implementation

Once you have decided to implement Default Calling or Direct Calling calling and followed the steps to implement them. Just few additional listeners and methods will help you quickly implement call recording in your app. You need to make changes in the CometChat.startCall method and add the required listeners for recording. Please make sure your callSettings is configured accordingly for Default Calling or Direct Calling. A basic example of how to make changes to implement recording for a direct/default call:

Dart

CallSettings callSettings= (CallSettingsBuilder()
  ..defaultLayout = true
  ..showCallRecordButton = true //Show recording button
  ..listener = this //CometChatCallsEventsListener
).build();

CometChatCalls.startSession(generatedToken, callSettings, onSuccess: (Widget? callingWidget){
  debugPrint("Success");
}, onError: (CometChatCallsException e){	  
  debugPrint("Error: $e");
});

Settings for call recording

The CallSettingsclass allows you to customise the overall calling experience. The properties for the call/conference can be set using the CallSettingsBuilder class. This will eventually give you and object of the CallSettings class which you can pass to the startCall() method to start the call. The options available for recording of calls are:

Setting	Description
`showCallRecordButton(boolean showCallRecordButton)`	If set to `true` it displays the Recording button in the button Layout. if set to `false` it hides the Recording button in the button Layout. Default value = false
`startRecordingOnCallStart(boolean startRecordingOnCallStart)`	If set to `true` call recording will start as soon as the call is started. if set to `false` call recording will not start as soon as the call is started. Default value = false

Start Recording

You can use the startRecording() method to start call recording.

Dart

CometChatCalls.startRecording(onSuccess: (success) {
  debugPrint("Success $success");
}, onError: (error) {
  debugPrint("Error $error");
});

Stop Recording

You can use the stopRecording() method to stop call recording.

Dart

CometChatCalls.stopRecording(onSuccess: (success) {
  debugPrint("Success $success");
}, onError: (error) {
  debugPrint("Error $error");
});
