Using Live Listen, Whisper, and Join Call

Managers and Supervisors may participate in live agent calls in three different methods. This article will outline how.

🚧

Limited access to live calls

Limited to Xima Contact Center Agents - Managers will only be able to Listen, Whisper, or Join calls with agents using an extension built in Xima CCaaS and not in the UC platform itself

Approved to Listen - If a Supervisor's Xima account was built with a "User" account level, they need to have recording access to the necessary agent on their team.

Available Call Monitoring tools

The 3 live Call Monitoring tools which Xima CCaaS offers are:

Live Listen

Great for performing QA on new hires or veteran agents.

  • Supervisor can hear the agent and external party
  • The agent and the calling party CANNOT hear the supervisor
  • The agent WILL NOT be notified that the supervisor has started a Listen session
  • Until disabled or closed, the Listen monitoring state will remain active so the supervisor can hear each new call
  • The supervisor will hear nothing between calls

Whisper

Great for coaching new hires.

  • Supervisor can hear the agent and external party
  • The agent can hear the supervisor. The calling party CANNOT hear the supervisor
  • The agent will be notified that the supervisor has started a Whisper session
  • When the call ends, the Whisper state will return to a Listen state for the next call

Join Call

Great for assisting with new hire calls or other escalated calls.

  • Supervisor can hear the agent and external party
  • The agent and the calling party can hear the supervisor
  • The agent will be notified that the supervisor has started a Join Call session
  • When the call ends, the Join Call state will return to a Standby state. The supervisor will need to re-enable Listen if they'd like to monitor the next call.

Navigating to the Call Monitor tool

  1. When logged into Xima CCaaS, with an recording authorized account level, navigate to Realtime Displays ► Supervisor View
