What instant chat options are available in Zoho Assist?
Text
Enable our browser-based secure chat option to send messages in remote desktop and seamlessly collaborate with clients. Technicians can easily direct clients to effective resolutions with multi-platform, text-based chat assistance. This is often used in combination with other remote support features, such as screen sharing or remote control, to provide comprehensive support and clear instructions.
Voice and video
Provide an interactive and personal support experience using Zoho Assist - a comprehensive remote desktop software with voice chat and video call feature. Once the call is initiated and accepted, both parties can communicate using audio and HD-quality video in real time. Clients can even pause screen sharing at any time during a remote session to protect their privacy.
VOIP
Making phone calls over the internet is easier with a VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) tool. All you need is your client’s contact data to instantly connect during an ongoing remote support session. To get started, simply dial the client’s number, including the applicable country code. VOIP is useful for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues more effectively, as the support agent can listen and speak directly with the customer.
