Silent Coach
11.1 Introduction
Silent Coach is a ShoreTel client feature that allows a user to intervene in another user’s
active call and communicate with that user. The initiator can speak to the specified user
and listen to all other call participants. The specified user is the only call participant that
can hear the initiator. A Telephony Class of Service assigns Silent Coach rights. Silent
Coach can be initiated through various ShorePhone models or through ShoreTel
Communicator.
This feature also provides the capability for the initiator to switch between Silent Monitor,
Barge In, and Silent Coach functions for the same call.
The right to perform Silent Coach is set by the system administrator. The system
administrator also designates users whose calls can be monitored.
