Note: for Android, during an ongoing call, even if the agent leaves the app and goes to another site, the visitor will still be able to see the agent if the agent didn't close the camera.

 

  • If I click on the “hang-up” button, the video is definitely finished =>  I will arrive on the normal chat screen with this visitor. If I wish to continue chatting with the visitor, you can do so here. If the conversation is over, I can close the conversation and tag the conversation (There is no automatic closing for video chat"

1.5 If I receive a video chat, then I am not available for other conversations

  • iOS: If my app is in the background and I receive a video call, I will receive repeated notifications each one with a ringtone) for 30 seconds. If I tap on it during these 30 seconds, I will be redirected to the Incoming call screen. If not, the notification will disappear.
  • Android: If my app is in the background and I receive a video call, I will see a notification (with a song) for 30 seconds. If I tap on it during these 30 seconds, I will be redirected to the Incoming call screen. If not, the notification will disappear and the sound will stop.

Operator using the iAdvize mobile app can send a video invitation* during a chat conversation. While the visitor has not accepted yet the agent can decide to Join or Cancel the invitation.  
Once the operator has joined the invitation, the video session starts as for classic video experience.

*Agents may send the invitation as many times as they wish.

To know more about chat to video:

 
How the operator availability is managed?
  • Each operator has to manage his/ her own availability by switching to unavailable before starting a video conversation. The availability toggles will not be automatically turned off when starting moving from chat to video
  • The operator will be able to have a video conversation while having ongoing chat conversation. Before sending the invitation the operator has to make sure to snooze or close ongoing conversation to make sure he/she is completely focus during this video session.
Is this available from iAdvize mobile app and desktop?
  • Yes.
Can the agent send multiple invitations?
  • The agent cannot send multiple invitations. If the agent does not get an answer to an invitation, they can cancel it before sending a new one to another visitor. 
Transfer/ Snooze
  • Once the conversation is transferred or snoozed by the agent, the video invitation is automatically cancelled.
  • The conversation can be transferred from one group to another so that a chat conversation can be sent to another group dedicated to video who will be in charge of escalating. 
Hanging up
  • At any time both visitor and agents can hang up the video session. If they do so, the conversation is not yet closed, they can still continue their conversation through chat. Another video invitation can be sent after the previous video session has been closed.
