Voice log events

The audit log page has been replaced with a new audit and investigation page. For information about this change, go to Improved audit and investigation experience: What's new in Google Workspace.

As a Google Workspace administrator, you can use the audit and investigation page to run searches related to Voice log events. There you can review Voice activity in your organization. For example, you can review the details of texts and calls, including the cost and duration.

You can also review exact call times and charges for Google Meet Global Dialing.
