View an agent's actions and tools while handling a contact in the new media player

IMPORTANT   The information on this page is about the Desktop panel in the new media player. For information about the Desktop panel in the classic media player, go here: View agent's actions and tools while handling a contact in the classic media player.
How do I know which version of the media player I have?
If you see the Return to classic button in the upper-right corner of the page, you are in the new media player, and the information below applies to you. If you see the Switch to new media player button, or if you don't see either of these buttons, you are in the classic media player. Go here for information about the classic media player: Play contacts in the classic media player.

The Desktop panel summarizes the actions that agents took on their phones and computers. This information lets you identify and analyze decisions that affected their handling of the contact. The panel contains two bars: one for the agent's actions (on the left) and one for the applications that the agent used (on the right). Examples of actions are "On Hold" or "After Call Work." Examples of applications are "Salesforce" or "Microsoft Excel."

  • You have the View Contacts and View Desktop Analytics permissions.
  • The contact is either an audio call with a screen recording or a screen-only recording.

The application usage bar divides the contact into segments based on the applications and websites that the agent accessed throughout.
