Desktop Power Users is designed to meet the needs of users who manage many calls that need to be transferred quickly; these users might include receptionists, executive assistants, and help desk agents, for example. There is a new experience in place with the new feature that allows you to customize widgets to maintain a panel that is always on top so that you can easily view the phone user’s call queues, their shared lines (call delegation), and their shared line groups. Furthermore, users of the phone can also access quickly the dialer, their voicemail and their history. On the Zoom desktop client, you can also access a new Contacts window that allows you to quickly locate your contacts and transfer calls with just a few clicks, which is optimized to help users find their contacts quickly. If you would like more information on these features, please see the user guide for Desktop Power User experience.
