Allow users to barge in to other people's phone calls
You can enable the barge-in feature for users and workspaces so that the users can use a Feature Access Code (FAC) to answer someone else's phone call or barge in on a call they've already answered. This feature works only between users or workspaces in the same location.
Enable barge-in for users
1 |
Sign in to Control Hub. |

Go to . |

Select a user and click Calling. |
4 |
Go to the Between-user permissions section, and then select Barge in. |

Check Play a tone when this user Barges In on a call if you want to play a tone to others when this user barges in on their call. The Play a tone when this user Barges In on a call setting doesn't apply to the supervisor barge-in functionality of Webex Calling Call Queue and Customer Assist. Even if you enable this option for a supervisor, the system doesn't play the notification tone to the agent when a supervisor barges in on their call queue call. If you want to play a tone to an agent when a supervisor barges in on their call, you can enable it through ‘Notification tone for agents’ settings. For more information, see the Create a queue section in Call Queue or Webex Calling Customer Assist. |
