Additional Information

Barge Service allows enabled Admin extensions to optionally monitor any active call in your 8x8 phone system; "whisper" exclusively to the extension user being monitored (without the other party hearing); and actively join the call, making it a three-way conference.

Admin can monitor only one call at a time, as while monitoring a call, should not use the hold function and Hot desk function.

Individual extensions must be enabled for this service by an account administrator. Barge services are only available with 8x8 Work Editions X6 or higher licenses, or X Series X4 or higher licenses. (Only extensions directly associated with a desk phone or softphone may be enabled for this service.)
