WebRTC Agent
On this page |
What’s about?
You can find how to install the Agent's WebRTC Here.
The XCALLY Motion Web Real Time Communication Bar (WebRTC) is a native application, used by the Customer Care Agents to manage incoming and outgoing calls, embedded in the Omni Desktop Interface
It’s possible to use WebRTC only as Agents and not as Users
The WebRTC Bar is an alternative to the Windows-based Phonebar application when:
The client platform is different from a Windows-based PC
No manual installation, configuration and upgrade is desired on workstations
Bandwidth is limited (the WebRTC bar supports auto-adaptive Opus Codec: for more information, see here)
The Agents can access the functions set in their Profile, according to their skill levels or tasks in a teamwork: they will only receive and manage the calls landed on the queues the agents belong to and perform actions defined by the Administrator or Supervisor.
The Supervisor can (if allowed by the Administrator) use the Chanspy feature to barge in or whisper during a conversation between Customer and Agent.
Log In
Open the Omni Desktop Interface
The WebRTC Bar automatically appears on top of the screen.
Only the Agents, whose Typology has been set by the administrator as WebRTC, will be able to see the application on the Omnichannel Desktop.
Click here to better understand the Agent Typology.

At least one uppercase letter
At least one digit
At least one symbol in the range ~!@#$%^&-_=+[{]}
Change Profile: You can change the profile with another associated to that agent

Settings:
On Profile tab, you'll detect your local configuration with indication of your full name, internal number, used browser and operating system
The Services section allows the Agent to set some call features like:
Auto Answer: if enabled, the calls will be automatically answered after the default delay (i.e. 20 seconds) and the Auto Answer red icon is shown on the WebRTC Bar
The Agent can disable/enable the Auto Answer function for the current work session.Messenger sound notification: if enabled, agent will receive a sound notification when a new internal message arrives
Notification position: to define the default position for displaying toast notifications throughout the application (default: top-right)
In the Audio section you can set the audio devices, like speakers and microphones, or the ringtone volume.
Moreover, there is a specific button to associate a Jabra device. Once the device is connected, it is possible to accept an incoming call, mute the microphone, pause and end the call using the headphones buttons
In Requirements tab, you can check if all the requirements are fulfilled.
If one or more of them are not checked, the local WebRTC application cannot work.
