One of our users asked how to add the call duration field onto their activities page, and we thought it would be helpful for others too.

To add the call duration field onto your Activities pages, you’ll need to log into Salesforce as a Salesforce Administrator.

In Salesforce Lightning, navigate to Setup.

Look for Call Duration at the top of your screen in the console. You can then drag Call Duration down to an open spot in the Task Detail section, and shuffle things around until you get a layout you like. Make sure you press Save at the top of the console space.
