TOLFA is a service that lets contact centers receive free web-based calls through their PBX and add video calling when needed. Because it does not use phone lines, there are no call charges. While talking with a contact center agent through a web interface, anyone can start a video call at any time during the conversation. You can turn video on or off whenever you like and choose from three modes depending on your needs.
There is no need to send SMS messages or handle extra steps. An agent can start video with a simple action.
Choose the mode that fits your situation. During a call, you can switch modes and start or stop video as many times as you want.
Video can only be started by the agent. Customers simply approve the video request with an easy step.
You can point to a specific spot on the screen and show it to the other person using markers. Both the customer and the agent can place markers.
You can start or stop video freely during a call. Video is optional, so you can also continue with voice only. Because your PBX stays the same, you can keep using call recording, IVR, and speech recognition just as before. With a simple action, an agent can start a video call with the customer.
You can choose from three modes depending on your needs. During a call, you can start or stop video as often as you like and switch modes at any time. Screen sharing is also available.
You can show the spot you point to on the other person’s screen, and see their pointed spot on your own screen. In addition to marking live video, you can also add markers to paused snapshots. (Available in Remote View Mode, Presentation Mode, and Screen Sharing.)
Video can be paused and resumed at any time. Both the customer and the agent can control playback, so you can stop and restart video as needed during the conversation. (Available in Remote View Mode and Presentation Mode.)
When viewing video from a smartphone on a PC, part of the image may not be visible. You can switch the display to view the full image clearly.
The conversation always starts with voice, then switches to video if needed, so customers are not surprised by sudden video calls. Only agents can start video, and customers simply approve it with a quick action. You can start or stop video as many times as you like during a call. Video is optional, so voice-only calls are always possible. By switching modes, you can choose one-way or two-way video, avoiding unnecessary video use.
Customers do not need to install any applications. They can start the conversation by opening a dedicated web page through a button link, banner, or QR code on your website.
In addition to smartphones, customers can talk with agents from tablets and PCs. Supported browsers include Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Chrome OS.
