Adding Listen, Whisper, and Barge to FreePBX or Asterisk
Adding Listen, Whisper, and Barge to FreePBX or Asterisk
Listen: Monitor an agents call. The manager can hear both the spied-on and bridged channels, but they cannot hear the manager.
Whisper: Whisper to the agent. The manager can hear both the spied-on and bridged channels, and the spied-on channel (agent) can also hear the manager, but not the bridged channel, hence “whisper.”
Barge: Barge in on both channels. The manager channel is joined onto the spied-on and bridged channel, and all parties can hear each other. Be warned, if the original agent leaves the call, the call is dropped. This is not a 3-way call. (However you can barge in, and when comfortable, initiate a 3way call to your extension so you can continue the call without the agent.
