Introduction
The Video Sessions Tab provides access to a comprehensive list (article) of all video sessions on the platform, enabling employees to manage remote support efficiently. Employees can create new sessions, view detailed session information, and track progress, while leveraging advanced tools like augmented reality (AR) features and session recordings for seamless customer assistance.
Purpose of Video Sessions
Video sessions enable employees to assist and guide code users remotely, reducing the need for on-site visits.
Key Features of Video Sessions:
- AR Features:
- Drawings: Both code users and employees can draw live on the video, making it easier to highlight and communicate key elements.
- Tracking: Employees can select and track elements in the video. For example, brackets can be displayed around a button, and the system ensures the button remains highlighted even when the frame moves.
- Session Recordings and Screenshots:
- Video sessions can be recorded, and screenshots can be taken during the session.
- All recordings and screenshots are saved to the Video Session Details View and are accessible to both code users and employees after the session ends.
For detailed usage instructions, refer to the article How to Use Video Sessions (article).
