Silent Monitoring
Contact center monitoring is a practice of listening to sales or support agent calls in real-time or after-the-matter to check how well the call was handled. The practice of call center monitoring is essential to improve how agents communicate with customers.

Silent Monitoring
For example, we would like to let supervisors 101 and 102 silence monitor other agents' 600 and 601 calls.
Create a new monitor group named Queue Management and turn on the Enable option.
Add users 600 and 601 as this group members.
Add users 101 and 102 as Supervisors of this group.
Click the OK button to save.
Now if extension 600 or 601 is on the call, then 101 or 102 can silence monitor 600 or 601 by dialing the FAC code with the extension number for example *63600 or *63601;
During silence monitoring, the 101 or 102 can press DTMF 2 to whisper to the agent, press 3 to barge in, and press 4 to barge-break the call.
The 101 or 102 can dial *63601*1 or *63103" directly to silence monitoring; By dialing *68601*2 to whisper 600, dial *68601*3 directly to barge-in, and dial *68601*4 directly to barge-break the 601's call.
