Permissions required: Admins and supervisors will be able to utilize the whisper chat option to guide other operators.

How can the whisper chat option help?

1. Assist operators in real-time without interrupting the conversation
   
1. Admins and supervisors can provide instant guidance to operators without the need to put customers on hold or say, "Let me check and get back to you."
2. Whisper messages enable operators to receive real-time support and respond confidently, ensuring a smooth and efficient conversation flow while enhancing customer satisfaction.
   
2. Stealth training for new operators without impacting customer experience
   
1. New or less experienced operators can receive discreet, real-time coaching from admins and supervisors, without the visitor’s knowledge. This hands-on training allows them to learn on the job while maintaining professional and high-quality support.
   
2. With real-time guidance, operators can receive instant corrections and support, helping them build confidence and improve efficiency without affecting the customer experience.
