Voice

Conferences, multiparty calls, recordings and SIP endpoints from the terminal.

Inspect conferences, manage group calls, retrieve recordings and configure SIP endpoints. Calls and live-call streams are on Make and control calls. After logging in, list active conferences:

plivo voice conferences list

• Hangups, kicks, deletes and stop-record need --yes. Preview them with --dry-run alone. With -o json, every action on this page prints a result on stdout.
• Replace <values> with your own and omit [flags] unless adding options. TTS means text-to-speech.
• Paged lists take --limit, --offset and --all. Global flags: see Configuration.

Multiparty calls

A multiparty call (MPC) is a group voice room. There is no create step: a room starts when you add its first participant. participant add dials out, spends money and requires --yes:

plivo voice multiparty participant add support-room \
  --from [phone] --to [phone] --role customer --dry-run

Replace the numbers with your caller ID and test recipient, then swap --dry-run for --yes to dial. participant list shows participant IDs.

Recordings

List recordings (by call UUID, conference or time range), fetch one, or delete one.

plivo voice recordings list --since 2026-10-01 --until 2026-10-07 -o json

• list filters on when a recording was added. Without --since, Plivo returns the last 7 days.
• --since and --until take UTC times as YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM[:SS]. A bare --until date includes that day. --until needs --since. A range can cover at most 31 days.
• --from-date and --to-date are the same flags. The older --from-time and --to-time still work under the same rules but are deprecated.

plivo voice recordings list [flags]	List recordings
plivo voice recordings get <recording_id>	Get a recording by ID
plivo voice recordings delete <recording_id>	Delete a recording (requires —yes)
