Notes: 

  • The Supervisor can monitor several calls at the same time, but can only listen in on one call at a time. 
  • When a Supervisor is listening in on a call:
  • If the call ends, the Listen In functionality will automatically be closed, but the monitor tab will remain open.
  • If the call is blind transferred, the Listen In functionality will automatically be closed. The Supervisor needs to click the “Listen In” button again to keep listening.
  • If the call is warm transferred (consult), the Supervisor will continue to listen in on the call without interruptions.
