How to start a co-browse session in the Agent Workspace
Start a co-browse session from a standard chat session so you can see and interact with the page a customer is viewing. BoldChat users refer to co-browse as ActiveAssist.
Co-browse browser requirements:
- Operator:
- Windows ? Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge
- Mac ? Safari
- Customer:
- Windows ? Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge
- Windows ? Internet Explorer 9, 10, 11 (Operator unable to click links for customer)
- Mac ? Safari (Operator unable to use back/forward buttons)
- iOS ? Safari
- Android ? Chrome
Privacy considerations: During a co-browse session, Operators can see the web content that the customer is watching. This content may contain personally identifiable and other sensitive information that your customer would not allow your Operators to see. To disable viewing parts of your website that contain sensitive information, you must update the HTML code of your website as described in Setting up your website for co-browse sessions.
- Back arrow ? Takes the customer's browser to the previously visited URL (like a standard browser Back button)
- Forward arrow ? Takes the customer's browser to the next URL in the history of the visited URL
- Reload ? Refreshes the current page being shown
- URL and Bookmarks ? Enter a URL that opens in the customer's browser or select a predefined URL from your BoldChat bookmark library. This library is only available if you previously used the BoldChat Desktop Client to add bookmarks.
- Highlighter ? Point out elements on the page, such as fields to fill, selections to make, or header text to read
- Stop ? Ends the current co-browse session, but chat remains active
