Monitor a Call

Live monitoring is an Uptivity feature that enables authorized users to listen to an agent's calls, view an agent's desktop, or both, in near-real time.

This can be useful for coaching agents or monitoring agent activity during or between calls.

When live monitoring a call, monaural audio is streamed from the Uptivity recording server to your workstation. If video is available, a screen capture viewing panel will appear following the Live Monitor list.

This topic explains how to monitor a call as it is being recorded.

For more information, see Live Monitoring Overview.

The following image displays the Live Monitor page used with HTML5 Interaction Player. If you are using the Silverlight Web Player, the screens may look a little different but the steps remain the same.

Adjust Playback

Clicking the Play icon opens the playback pane at the bottom of the page. Live monitoring runs continuously until you stop playback. Use the zoom and volume controls to modify the streaming audio and video. In the Silverlight Live Monitor, the Speaker and Camera icons indicate the presence or absence of audio and screen feeds.

      This view is currently only available in the Silverlight Live Monitor.

    • Stretch-to-Fit resizes the full screen image to fit the window. It allows you to view the entire screen but may be difficult to read due to the compression.
    • Actual Size displays the live feed at 100% of what the agent sees. Scrollbars appear at the side and bottom of the playback area to allow you to scroll to different parts of the screen.
  2. Move the Volume Slider to adjust the volume of audio playback.
  3. Click the Stop icon to end live monitoring of audio and video.
