Note: If icons are not available, please check if you are using the supported browsers and platforms. For the Comm100 Live Chat Desktop App, please use version 8.5.0 or above. If icons are grayed out, please check if the visitor is using a web browser that does not support Audio & Video Chat or this agent has been already in another audio or video chat.


Audio & Video Chat is currently allowed at the one-on-one session, which means direct talking between one visitor and one agent. Another visitor will not be able to start an audio or video chat with the same agent. Another agent cannot join an ongoing audio or video chat, but the agent can join in sending text messages as usual.
