Notes:

  • Prior to version 20.1.1, screen sharing for Chromium-based browsers was not possible during a click-to-chat session. Click-to-chat functionality has been upgraded to include screen sharing if a chrome-based browser is in use. This new functionality replaces the need to install a browser extension for Chrome OS device support. When starting a click-to-chat session, you can switch to the Web Chat tab in the rep console to prompt the customer to download the customer client, which allows view and control for operating systems that support view and control.
