The Video Conferencing feature in Optix allows agents to place video calls directly to clients’ TouchPoint applications on their smartphones. Once a video call has been initiated by an agent, they have the option to record the session. A history of all video calls, the call results, as well as recordings and transcripts are automatically stored under the client’s Communications tab for future reference.
