Record an impromptu call


Article summary

Gong does not automatically record ad hoc or last-minute scheduled calls. To add Gong to a call last minute, add it as a participant if the meeting is in your calendar. If not, schedule a new recording from the homepage. For ongoing calls, schedule a new recording from the homepage and set it for "Now." Gong will join within 10 minutes. For web conferences, invite Gong as a participant in Outlook or email the meeting URL for other calendar apps. Gong will join and record the call for any web conferencing system your company uses Gong for.

If you have an ad hoc call, or if you scheduled a call just a few minutes in advance, Gong won't be set to record it. Here's how you can add Gong to a call at the last minute, or to a call that is already started.

  • If the meeting is in your calendar: Add the Gong assistant to the list of participants. (This way, we can use info in the meeting invite to associate the call in Gong.)

  • If the meeting is not in your calendar: Go to the homepage and in the Conversations section, click More-menu.png and choose Schedule new recording. In the screen that opens, set the call for Later and fill in the details. Learn more

  • If the meeting has already started: Go to the homepage and in the Conversations section, click More-menu.png and choose Schedule new recording. In the screen that opens, set the call for Now and fill in the details. Learn more

Note: Gong joins the call up to 10 minutes after you've added the assistant or scheduled the call from the homepage.

Add Gong to a web conference using the assistant

  • Outlook: Invite Gong to the web conference as a participant.

    If this method doesn't work, use the Forward as an Attachment option to forward the meeting invite to the Gong assistant. Gong will join and record the call.

  • Other calendar apps: Email the meeting URL to the Gong assistant.

Gong joins the call for any web conferencing system your company is set up to use Gong for.
