The system has a built-in feature to play audio notifications for recorded conversations. The announcement capability is currently available for Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Skype of Business and Cisco environments. The announcement is available for certain call scenarios only.
...
The announcement audit log provides a log for tracking and searching announcements played by the system (or not). The system stores the audit log entries in the database and provides search and listing for the records. The audit log is turned off by default. The announcement white list allows excluding phone numbers and SIP URIs from an announcement. If a phone number is added to the whitelist, the system will not play the recording announcement for that number. Multiple whitelists can be added and maintained through the user interface as a global configuration in a Verba instance. For more information, refer to:

The Verba Microsoft Teams Bot Service is able to notify the participants that the call will be recorded. The Microsoft Teams Bot Service will use the configuration to determine when and what audio prompt has to be played for the calls to which the bot gets invited.
The recording bot is playing back the announcement at the beginning of the call. As the bot is a standard participant in the call, the audio is simultaneously played with other participants' audio, which can result in cross-talk with the users.
The custom audio announcement is available for the following call scenarios:
...
| Call Scenario | Operation |
|---|---|
| Incoming PSTN calls | Once the call has been established with the bot, the bot plays the audio into the call. The audio prompt will be heard by both participants. The audio prompt will not be recorded by the bot, because the bot only records the audio received from the call. |
| Outgoing PSTN calls | Once the call has been established with the bot, the bot plays the audio into the call. The audio prompt will be heard by both participants. The audio prompt will not be recorded by the bot, because the bot only records the audio received from the call. |
| Incoming Federated calls | Once the call has been established with the bot, the bot plays the audio into the call. The audio prompt will be heard by both participants. The audio prompt will not be recorded by the bot, because the bot only records the audio received from the call. |
| Outgoing Federated calls | Once the call has been established with the bot, the bot plays the audio into the call. The audio prompt will be heard by both participants. The audio prompt will not be recorded by the bot, because the bot only records the audio received from the call. |
| Internal calls | Once the call has been established with the bot, the bot plays the audio into the call. The audio prompt will be heard by both participants. The audio prompt will not be recorded by the bot, because the bot only records the audio received from the call. When two recorded users are calling each other and both users have a custom announcement configured, the bot plays the announcement of the called party only. In this case, the audio prompt will be recorded for the caller party. |
