Call direction is fixed at call start for the recorded user and does not change when a transfer changes that user's call role, while call source is based on the actual remote party and can be rechecked when the remote party changes.

Checked 2026-09-05

Call direction is based on how the call starts for the recorded user or workspace. The direction doesn't change if a feature, such as transfer, changes the user's call role during the call. Call source is based on the actual remote party and can be rechecked when the remote party changes.
