Important: If the visitor is using a mobile device, do not try to initiate a voice or video escalation. These are not yet supported on mobile devices. Check the visitor context information first. Confirm that the visitor device is desktop or that the visitor OS is a desktop OS.
How to initiate a voice or video escalation
In the agent widget, click on the "video" icon to start a video call.
If you want to start start an audio only call instead, click the "phone" icon.
Note: The first time you initiate a call this way, Live Assist for Microsoft Dynamics 365 will ask to use your camera and microphone. You must click Allow for this feature to work.

After the visitor accepts, a video panel opens. The visitor must then click Join to start the call.
