Turning Call Waiting on and off
If your organization’s administrator has programmed the Contact Center Client with the Call Waiting feature, you can turn it on and off as needed. When the feature is on, you can put a call on hold and take a second call. If the feature is off and you’re on a call, additional callers will go to your voicemail.
Note: By default, call waiting is turned on. We recommend that you keep the feature turned on.
