# See Your Calls, Recordings and Transcripts

> Find any call your business made or took, see why a call has no summary, and play or download a call's recording

Every call to and from your Hiveku numbers is listed in one place: who it was with, how long it lasted, whether someone answered, and what was said when the call was recorded.

This guide opens Northwind's call log. Phone numbers are hidden in the pictures, and the staff member's name is shown as Northwind's demo user.

## Open the call log

Click **Communications** in the left rail, then the **Calls** tab.

The cards at the top count every call: how many were answered, how many were missed, how many your AI handled, the total talk time and how many were recorded. Below them, narrow the list with the search box (a number, a contact or words from a summary), the **All**, **Inbound**, **Outbound**, **Missed**, **Answered** and **AI handled** buttons, or the two dates. **Export CSV** downloads the calls that match.

Northwind's call log

## Read the Summary column

A recorded call gets an AI summary of what was said, usually within a minute or two of the call ending. When a call has none, the **Summary** column says why:

| It says | Why |
| - | - |
| **Not processed yet** | The call was recorded and its summary is on its way. |
| **Not answered** | Nobody answered, so there was nothing to summarize. |
| **No recording** | The call was answered but not recorded. |
| **Website call, no recording** | A visitor talked to your AI from the chat on your website (**Talk live**). These calls are not recorded. |
| **No summary was made** | The call was recorded, but no summary was made for it. |

## Open a call

Click any row. The panel on the right shows who the call was with, the direction, the outcome and the length, with **Call back** and **Text** for a phone caller and a **CRM** link when the caller is one of your contacts.

The **Summary** tab shows the AI summary, or the reason there isn't one, and the numbers the call went from and to. A call from your website chat says what happened to it:

![Website visitor, Inbound, AI handled, 2:49, 10/23/2026. Summary tab: This call came from the chat on your website (Talk live). Website calls are not recorded, so there is no summary here. What was said is in the visitor's chat in Helpdesk, outlined.

A call from the website chat

For a website call, read the conversation in the visitor's chat in **Helpdesk**.

## Play or download a recording

When a call was recorded, open its **Recording** tab. Play it in the page, or click **Download MP3** to keep a copy.

A recorded call

Once a recorded call has been transcribed, a **Transcript** tab appears after **Summary** with everything that was said, word for word.

## Good to know

* **Recording is a setting.** It is switched on or off for your whole phone system, and each number can follow that or have recording on or off for itself, in the number's settings. A call that wasn't recorded has no recording, summary or transcript.
* **Calls your AI receptionist took** show **AI handled**. See [Let the AI Receptionist Answer Your Phone](https://docs.hiveku.com/how-tos/phone/ai-receptionist.md).
* **Patterns over time,** such as your busiest hours and where calls come from: [See When Calls Come In and Who Answers Them](https://docs.hiveku.com/how-tos/phone/call-analytics.md).
