# Viewing Your Recent Calls

Polycom CMA Desktop gives you several ways to view your recent calls:

- Your Recent Calls list lets you see the people and systems you've called and those who have called you. You can use this list to place calls and invite people to be on your Contacts list. To make it easier to find a Contact, each Contact is listed once, even if you have participated in multiple calls together.

- Each Contact's Details window shows you a list of your recent calls with that Contact.

- The Call Log gives you another view of the calls you've placed and received. Each call is listed, along with information about each call. You can also view your call history for a single Contact.
