When recording calls, either manually or automatically, the default option is to save the call recordings in a specified mailbox. The recordings can then be played in the same manner as a normal message is played.
However, if you set destination of any Recording (Auto) or Recording (Manual) setting to Voice Recording Library or Voice Recording Library Authenticated, then those recordings are saved to a VRL directory.
The VRL directory is the location that applications which perform call archiving regularly check to collect those call recordings. You can also specify VRL as the destination for calls recorded through a Leave Mail action in a call flow.
