Waiting rooms can be created and edited by administrators. An inbound video engagement can be supplemented by a waiting room that offers a rich media experience while the customer waits for an agent. It is possible, for instance, to display the company logo and indicate a brief description of your company in order to inform consumers that an agent will connect with them shortly. It is possible to change the settings of a Waiting Room after it has been created.
