SummaryCall Monitoring enables you to improve your business' call monitoring capabilities by providing features that allow you to check the quality of calls taken by your colleagues. With monitor, whisper, barge, and takeover you can either check the call, join the call, or take over the call. Call Monitoring for the desktop app has no difference in feature with the Call Monitoring feature on your Desk phone. However, with RingCentral for desktop, you have a more intuitive interface to change the call monitoring statuses without using a touch tone.  These features are available for RingCentral Office Premium and RingCentral Office Ultimate plans only.
