Listen to an audio contact in the new media player

IMPORTANT The information on this page is about the Audio and Time panels in the new media player.

How do I know which version of the media player I have?
If you see the Return to classic button in the upper-right corner of the page, you are in the new media player, and the information below applies to you. If you see the Switch to new media player button, or if you don't see either of these buttons, you are in the classic media player. Go here for information about the classic media player: Play contacts in the classic media player.

The Time panel in the media player lets you control the playback of an audio or screen recording.

The Audio panel in the media player visualizes the audio recording. The energy bar shows where audio activity (the agent and customer speaking) occurred throughout the contact.

NOTE If an agent’s screen activity was recorded before a call started or after a call ended (for example, because of a Screen Recording Extension configuration), the energy bar is blank during that portion of the recording.

The color of the audio streams depends on the type of recording.

Energy Bar	Recording Type	Description
	Stereo	The inbound audio stream is gray. The outbound stream is blue.
	Mono	The audio stream is blue.
