GDPR and Call Recording Today
A couple of years ago, it wasn’t conversations about COVID and pandemics that left us all in a panic. Instead, businesses everywhere were finding ways to cope with the impending arrival of GDPR – a new privacy and security standard intended to protect customer data. Although the demands of GDPR created huge concerns for companies in all industries, many were able to adapt to suit the new guidelines.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean we haven’t had some challenges. Even 2 years on, there are still companies out there struggling to determine what they can do to make their call analytics and recording strategy well-suited to GDPR. Here’s everything you need to know about GDPR, call recording, and the evolution of customer privacy.
Zoom Introduces Noise Suppression
Zoom Video Communications is easily one of the biggest household names in the world right now. The company offers a go-to solution for multi-media conversations and collaboration, in a world where face-to-face connectivity just isn’t an option anymore. When COVID-19 struck, Zoom’s official meeting solution solved one problem – maintaining communication.
However, as more people have switched to working from home, we’ve discovered that “anywhere” environments can often be very distracting. It’s not just messy backgrounds that both us, but background noise too – like kids and dogs barking. Fortunately, Zoom has released a new and upgraded noise suppression feature – perfect for solving this problem.
The noise suppression feature will help to enhance voice quality for human conversation, while blocking out excess noise.
