    Monitor an interaction

    This section gives a step-by-step overview of how to monitor an interaction as a supervisor.

    Notes:
    • Genesys Cloud does not notify the agent or customer that you are monitoring them.
    • While as a supervisor, you cannot join the conversation during monitoring, you can see every contextual panel that the agent sees. This enables you to inspect every detail about the conversation.
    • To monitor an interaction, set your status to Available.
    • Only one supervisor at a time can monitor a conversation. If another supervisor wants to monitor an already monitored interaction, Genesys Cloud grays out the Monitor button and displays the supervisor who is monitoring the selected interaction.
