Product

Environment
Twilio Console
User Account Permission/Role(s) Required
Your user role must allow updating Voice configurations. Without it, the Edit action on each section is unavailable.
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Voice, then Recordings.
- Select the Configurations tab, then Recording.
- Select the name of the configuration you want to change.
- Select the tab holding the settings you want to change — Name configuration, Composition policy, or Callback settings.
- Select Edit. A form opens, pre-filled with the current values, titled Edit name configuration, Edit composition policy, or Edit callback settings.
- Change the values you need:
- Name configuration: update the Recording configuration name or the Description.
- Composition policy: change Channel, Trim silence, or Track.
- Callback settings: change the URL, HTTP method, or Events for the call recording and conference recording status callbacks.
- Select Save.
- A confirmation appears reading "Recording configuration updated." and the form closes.
Additional Information
- To discard your changes, select Cancel. The form closes, no confirmation appears, and nothing is saved.
- If a save fails, a message reading "Failed to update recording configuration." appears and the form stays open so you can correct the values and try again.
- If you provide a callback URL, you must select at least one event for it.
- Configurations created before the Track option was available default to Both.
