Call Supervisor Functions

Call Barge

Call Barge-in allows a third party to barge or “takeover” an active call between two parties. Typically, this third person is either a call centre manager or a a co-worker who needs urgent assistance on a call. The permissions to jump into calls and listen to conversations may be legally restricted in certain countries; please use extra caution here.

To Setup:

  1. For the extension that performs the barge, ensure the permissions are set to which extensions they are permitted to barge into.

To activate:

  1. To barge-in during an active call, dial *81 followed by the extension number of the party you want to barge into.  (e.g. *81500 will barge/takeover the active call on extension 500)

Whisper/Teach

Call Teach mode allows a third party to become active on a call with only one of the parties knowing. This is typically useful in a call center when a trainer wants to offer tips to a new agent without the customer knowing.

To Setup:

  1. For the extension that performs the whisper/teach, ensure the permissions are set to which extensions they are permitted to whisper to.

To Activate:

  1. During an active call, initiate the whisper by dialing *82 followed by the extension number of the recipient.  (e.g. *82500)

Listen In

In Listen-In mode, a third party can listen in to an active call without being detected by the other parties. The two parties speaking to each other are not aware of the listen-in. This allows call center supervisors to monitor a call for the purposes of compliance and improvement.

To Setup:

  1. For the extension that performs the listen-in, ensure the permissions are set to which extensions they are permitted to listen to.

To Activate: 

  1. Dial the *83 star code followed by the extension number  (e.g. *83500)
