Use collaborative sessions (invite to session or session sransfer)
GoToAssist Remote Support v4 allows multiple agents to join attended and unattended support sessions simultaneously, allowing all agents in the session to view and control the customer's screen, retrieve diagnostic information and chat with each other and the customer.
Invited agent(s) must have a GoToAssist Remote Support v4 agent seat and will be prompted to log in with their credentials when they join the support session, however, their seat is not required to be named on the same account as the agent whom invited them to join the session.
Note: The session collaboration feature is not supported when hosting or joining support session from an Android device. Additionally, it is recommended to allow no more than 4 agents per support session for optimal performance.
