To use telephony features directly in Salesforce, we recommend that you modernize your experience by moving to Salesforce Voice. Salesforce Voice offers many of the telephony features that you love and more. See Get to Know Salesforce Voice.
Your org must have role hierarchy set up to use Call Monitoring.
You can listen to only one sales rep at a time, and only outbound calls are monitored. You can’t monitor calls that your sales reps receive. Monitored calls use double the minutes of a regular call, counting the call time for both the rep and manager.
If required by law, users must notify the call recipient of call monitoring and/or recording and stop monitoring and/or recording upon request.
Call Monitoring is not supported in Salesforce Essentials.
Permission set groups aren’t supported for Dialer permissions. Assign Dialer and Call Monitoring permission sets without using permission set groups.
