Facetime, in CRM Video Calling with optional Recording
J
Jay Martin
Use Case:
Allow team members to instantly video call clients from their Contact or Opportunity record so clients can show jobs, properties, or issues in real time—building trust and speeding up diagnosis/quotes.
Description:
- Launch a one-on-one video call from any Contact/Opportunity page.
- Automatically record full session (audio + video) as an MP4.
- On call end, upload the recording to HighLevel’s file storage and attach it to the contact’s Activity Log with metadata (date/time, duration).
- Enforce access: only users with that Contact’s record-level access can view or play the recording.
Leverage a built-in HighLevel Video SDK or integrate an API like Smrtphone’s for web/iOS and an Android WebRTC/SDK equivalent. Core hooks:
startVideoCall(contactPhoneNumber) → sessionID
onCallConnected(sessionID) → begin recording
stopCall(sessionID) → finalize recording
getRecording(sessionID) → URL for download/playback
Key UI/UX:
-Add a “Video Call” button in the header/actions of Contact & Opportunity views.
-Open an embedded in-app video widget with mute/camera toggle and a “Recording” status indicator.
-After ending the call, show a “Processing your recording…” banner, then update the Activity feed card with a “View Recording” link once ready.

Our home service clients would love this. Right now they're juggling between GHL and separate video tools when customers need to show damage or issues. The automatic recording piece is smart too since these calls often become disputes later.
