Call Monitoring

On the BT Cloud Phone Desktop App HUD, when an agent or User is on a call, the admin or supervisor can hover their mouse over the User and click on Monitor.

When a User is being monitored, the following options are available:
 
Whisper - This option allows the supervisor to speak to the User without the caller hearing.
Barge - This option allows the supervisor to join the call.
Takeover - This option allows the supervisor to take the call and proceed without the User who answered the call.
