    Hello everyone

    We plan to use WEBRTC for two of our contact centers.

    Both these offices will be high volume calls with around 70 agents in each.

    Does anyone have any feedback or suggestions about using webRTC as a solution for a entire contact center.

    I have ran a few tests using PureCloud webRTC diagnostic and got the following results

    Hi Richard,

    We are using WebRTC in two call centers with about 30-50 agents each. Some of these agents work remotely (from home). This works well, but you want to watch out for a few things:
    • Network: Make sure your network is solid (cabled ethernet recommended, Wifi causes the majority of our issues especially for remote agents)
    • Compute resource: If the machine is running short on RAM or CPU, or the disk is slow, call quality will be impacted
    • Headsets: Good quality headsets make a large difference. While this is true no matter what transport technology you use, you want to test the interaction between the headset, Windows (or whatever OS), and the PureCloud app
    • Test the entire flow from ringing to hanging up. We had trouble with chat notifications interrupting the call on the headset, ringing only in the headset, or only in the speakers, etc.

    Overall, our agents are working well with WebRTC now.

    Thanks Sven

    This is very helpful.

    Would you know about "your network appears to be a symmetric NAT, this can cause problems for WEBRTC connectivity"

    will this be on the network level?

    We use a symmetric NAT for our internal client devices (most NATing works this way) and don't see any problems. Remote agents would likely also run this way using a home router/firewall/AP box. Our edges have a direct internet address and are also reachable on the internal subnet for devices in our company LAN (we use both the LAN and WAN ports of the edge). 

    I'd recommend setting up a test bed to get actual experience with your individual setup.

    Thanks for that very helpful

    How would you go about doing shadowing? from time to time we have sales trainers / service trainers shadowing a call with the agent.

    What is the best way to do this via WebRTC?

    Our call center monitors calls regularly. I believe this works with WebRTC like any other transport mechanism:
