  • In Microsoft Teams, you can access Webex Contact Center Desktop only through the pop out feature within Teams channels. Embedding Webex Contact Center Desktop within the Microsoft Teams platform in any other way isn't supported.

  • When the pop out feature is open, returning to the Channel Desktop Tab initiates a new Desktop sign-in. In such cases, the pop out displays a Multiple sign-in alert.
