Use the Listen, Whisper, and Barge options directly from CommPeak Softphone. These actions allow the manager to listen to agent conversations and talk to the agent or both parties.

Call controls in the CommPeak Softphone function similarly whether you log in using credentials from PBX Stats and Portal, or the Dialer and Cloud PBX. The difference lies in the numbers you need to dial on the keyboard.

PBX Stats and Portal Mode

Perform the following steps if you log in to the Softphone using data from PBX Stats or CommPeak Portal.

To start whispering:

📘

NOTE

*222 is the default prefix. You can contact support if you wish to use different digits.

1. Dial *222 followed by the agent extension number. You will be connected in the Listen mode. In the example below, 101 is the agent's extension to whose conversation the manager wants to connect.

   

2. To switch to other modes, click on the keyboard icon. You will see the keyboard on the screen, and then you can press the following numbers:

• 5 to switch to the Whisper mode and talk to the agent

• 6 to switch to the Barge mode and talk to both the agent and the customer

• 4 to switch to the Listen mode again and listen to the conversation.

  

  You will hear a voice notification that the chosen mode is activated.

3. When you're done, you can click Dial and then click the red button to end the call.

Dialer and Cloud PBX Mode

Perform the following steps if you log in to the Softphone using data from the Dialer or Cloud PBX.

   If you have permission to whisper and speak with the agent and customer side, the call is answered.
2. You will be connected in the Listen mode.
   To switch to other modes, click on the keyboard icon. You will see the keyboard on the screen, and then you can press the following numbers:
