Zendesk Voice: New call notification through speakers, call through headset
Posted Apr 20, 2012
Our support people don't have their headsets on all of the time and are often flipping between applications -- meaning they don't always have Zendesk on-screen.
To use the audio through the browser, the notification "ring" AND the audio from the caller goes to the Windows default speaker. The Flash configuration pop-up only lets you choose your mic, but not your speaker. So, you can either have that audio go to the computer speaker or to the headset. Here's the problem:
You don't want to wear a headset just for the mic, but have the caller's audio come through the speakers.
If you pick headset as your default Windows speaker, then you don't hear the call notification "ring" unless you're always wearing your headset or always staring at Zendesk -- which we aren't.
That means for us, I can't find a way to use Zendesk voice because there's no good way to know when a call comes in.
Even if the pop-up happened in a way that would come up on the user's desktop, it could work. But it's only in that one browser window that's running Zendesk. If they aren't looking at it, they won't see that, either.
If someone has ideas on how to address this otherwise, let me know, since we'd love to use the voice features!

We are also struggling with the inability of Zendesk to address different sound outputs to actually hear an incoming Talk call.
To us that's a pretty basic must have for a call software since not every agent has his headset on for 8h straight.
When can we expect a solution?

All I want is that , Call notification is much bigger and placed in the middile of screen
so agent hardly miss it .
or
when it rings, it rings from the speak or PC it self first , and they pick the call,
communication wil be made throughout headset

Any updates on this? I have some members of my team who never hear their Zendesk Talk phone ringing via the browser.

I would also be very interested to see when this will be available, we just switched to ZD talk and are finding a lot of nuisances with the system that is making this transition a bit hard

It's a very good additional feature for ZD to stand out. In fact I hope ZD can develop to become a Window App

Dear Zendesk Team,
is there any udpate?
Is it possible to have pop up on desktop when imcoming call rings? Or is it possible the imcoming call rining tone over speaker? The best is both of them pop up notification + rining tone over speaker.
Otherwise, we have to wear headset all the time.
Thanks a lot!

Dear Pia Lai
If you use chrome you can allow your browser to notify incoming calls by a pop-up.
Here you can ad zendesk: chrome://settings/content/notifications

Is there any update on this? It's been well over 60 days since the march 22 update. 10 years since the feature request.

Ben Wilcox
So we're over 10 years from when this was requested and there were promised responses. Can we get an update to where this is on the roadmap? Is it on 2023's, for example? Would love to see this.

We've just migrated to ZenDesk talk this morning, and my team ran headlong into this without warning, having been used to Avaya. Not that we liked Avaya, but at least dedicated phone software did this...
Looks to me like the Zendesk rep who responded last year may no longer have an active account, so I'll go ahead and tag someone who commented on this in [checks notes] 2018. @... is there any sort of update on this?
