Joining Sessions

Glance offers a few different ways to join sessions:

  • 1-click connect: Agent-initiated flow where the Join button will light up orange, and the agent can send a request to the visitor to share their browser, no key exchange required.
  • Key-based sessions: Visitor clicks a button or link on the website to generate a key, which is relayed to the agent.
  • Mobile camera share sessions: Enter the customer’s phone number to send a text to share their video stream. Glance provides a default configuration to map Glance Visitor IDs to interactions.
