How to Record Viber Calls on PC (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Short answer: Viber has no built-in call recording. To record a Viber call on a PC, take it in Viber for Desktop (Windows, Mac or Linux) and run a recorder that captures your microphone and system audio, such as Reline. On your phone? Transfer the call to your computer first. Ask everyone before you record.

Not inside Viber. Viber's help center explains how to make one-to-one and group voice and video calls on desktop, share your screen and transfer a call to another device, and it describes no way to record a call. Viber Plus, the paid subscription, does not add one either. You can request a Call Detail Record report from Viber, but it lists the time, duration and numbers of your calls, not what was said. Any recording of a Viber call comes from software on your computer.

On desktop you can also create a call link (Compose, then New call link) and share it: up to 60 people can join, Viber sets no time limit, and everyone still needs Viber on a phone or computer.

• Viber for Desktop, linked to Viber on your phone. Viber supports Windows 10 (64-bit, version 1607 and newer) and Windows 11, macOS 11 Big Sur and later, and 64-bit Fedora and Ubuntu, with limited updates and support for Linux.
• A recorder that captures system audio (the other side) as well as your microphone (your side). Reline's desktop app does this on Windows, macOS and Linux (beta).
• Headphones, ideally. On open speakers your microphone also hears the other side, and some of their words can land on your side of the transcript.
• The other person's yes, or the group's.

1. Install Viber for Desktop for Windows from viber.com and link it to your phone by scanning the QR code with Viber on your phone.
2. Install the Reline desktop app for Windows and sign in. The Free plan is enough to start.
3. Allow the microphone for Reline: in Windows 11, open Settings, Privacy & security, Microphone, and turn on "Let desktop apps access your microphone".
4. Check where Viber plays the call. Reline records the whole Windows default output device, and Viber's audio call settings let you pick a different output device. Keep Viber's output on your Windows default device, or the other side is missed; music and notification sounds on that device are recorded too.
5. Place or answer the call with the audio or video button. Reline does not detect Viber calls on its own, so you start the recording yourself.
6. Ask at the start of the call whether you may record for notes. Once you hear a clear yes, press Record in Reline. The live transcript starts as people talk.
7. Stop the recording when you hang up. You get the transcript, an AI summary and the kept audio, with a play button on every transcript line.

Viber can transfer a live call to another device that has Viber, a desktop included. On your phone, tap Call transfer during a voice call, or open Menu and tap Transfer during a video call. Viber for Desktop rings, and the call on your phone hangs up once you pick it up on the computer. Reline hears the call only from that moment on, so get the yes on the computer, then press Record.

Viber supports 64-bit Fedora and Ubuntu, with limited updates and support, and its setup guide points to the Linux downloads on Viber's desktop download page. Reline's Linux desktop app (beta) records your microphone and system audio through PulseAudio or PipeWire. The steps match Windows. If the transcript only shows your side, check that your output device is not muted: a muted output gives Reline silence.

Viber has no recording feature, so it shows no recording notice, and a recorder on your computer adds nothing to the call either: nobody knows unless you say so, so the notice is on you. Several US states, California among them, require every party to agree before a call is recorded, and in the EU you need a lawful basis under the GDPR and should say why you record. Rules differ by country and state, so check the rules where everyone on the call is. The simple habit: say at the start of the call that you are recording for notes, and stop if someone objects.

• Fits: one-to-one, group and Viber Out calls you take in Viber for Desktop on Windows, Mac or Linux (beta), when everyone agrees and you want a searchable transcript in 60+ languages plus a summary.
• Audio and transcript only: Reline does not record the video or a shared screen.
• Speaker labels are Me vs Other (your microphone vs the call audio). In a group call the other side is one voice, "Other", until you switch on Separate speakers (beta) in the transcript panel: Reline then numbers each voice (Speaker 1, Speaker 2) and you name them yourself. Reline cannot read names from Viber.
• Not for calls on your phone: there is no Reline mobile app. Transfer the call to Viber for Desktop instead.
• Not local-only: audio goes to a cloud transcription provider, audio and notes are stored in cloud storage (Cloudflare R2), and summaries and chat use cloud AI models. Notes are private by default.
• If everything must stay on your machine, an offline recorder with a local transcription model is the better match.

The same setup works for other calling apps that no notetaker bot can join. WhatsApp and Telegram have desktop apps too, each with its own quirks around recording.
