Google begins to roll out Gmail call recording to some users

Software

It looks like search giant Google has started to roll out a new feature to its Gmail users that also utilize Google Voice. The new functionality allows Google Voice users, receiving a call from within Gmail, to record the voice conversation. Blog TechCrunch is reporting that some users have begun to see a new “record” button show up in Gmail’s call window. The feature has been available to Google Voice users for quite some time by hitting the number “4″ on your phone’s dial-pad after receiving an inbound call. After activating call recording, both parties are notified that the conversation is being recorded with a verbal queue. Google has yet to publish a press release announcing the feature or detailing when it will be rolled out to all users. Anyone have the new feature in Gmail yet?

    Some people might not like the recording voice calls. A conversation might go like this; Dude: *touches record button, Chick: “Why are you recording our conversation? Dude: “umm..idk..” Chick:”ugh you’re such a creep!” *hangs up. Dude: “wait! no!”

    More like you are going to have a lengthy detailed conversation with your boss or client and don’t want to miss anything
    Or if you are handling any legal matters. Like divorce. ie Mel Gibson.

    It’s live for me. I’m sure I’ll never use it.

    It was live for me last week then disappeared. Its back today and I have used it three times. Works great. I used it on a telemarketer and they quickly hung up when they heard that the call would be recorded.

      Wow! That is awesome! I think I should tell that to ALL telemarketers that call on my cell phone also. I really think it would work. Thank again! Carey

    it’s not “verbal queue”: it’s “verbal cue”.
