Zoom Integration : Oracle B2C Service Browser UI feature to support integration with Zoom
December 14, 2022 | 7 minute readIntroduction
Remember the good old days, when service teams would wake up each morning and drive to a physical contact center? Remember the collaboration, the comradery, the lukewarm coffee? Ok, so maybe working from home has not been that bad after all, but there were times when being physically close to your team was incredibly valuable. For instance, holding morning huddles to set the pace for the day, onboarding new employees, or quickly getting assistance for difficult service questions. These activities were easier when your peers were within arm’s reach.
Fortunately for all of us, we can now have the best of both worlds. Oracle has now integrated everyone’s favourite collaboration tool, Zoom, directly into its agent browser UI for B2C service. Now you can instantly collaborate with your team members with the push of a button. Schedule time with your manager, hold a morning huddle and even host the virtual happy hour without having to leave the agent desktop.
What is Zoom Integration
Zoom integration is a feature available in Oracle B2C Service Browser UI product, using which Zoom meetings can now be scheduled, started, modified, and also associate the meetings to Incident and Contact records from Oracle B2C Service Agent Browser UI, and thereby eliminating the need for agents to switch interfaces
How to enable Zoom Integration
The B2C Service Zoom integration is currently in controlled availability. This means that in order to configure, the feature must be enabled by Oracle for your B2C Service site. Please submit a service request(SR) on the https://cx.rightnow.com/ page to have your site enabled for Zoom Integration.
In addition, Agent will need to have a Zoom account.
Once the site has been provisioned for Zoom, a Zoom icon(with a cross mark) will display on the right side panel.
When clicked, the user will be asked to log in using their Zoom account credentials. Once login is completed, a success message will be displayed, and you will be ready to use Zoom integration features.
