  2. You'll then see the widget appear in the right-side panel. On new chats, you'll see screenshots of previous pages the customer has been on.

Send a Request in the Chat

Sending a co-browsing request in the chat allows you to start the session from there, have a record of when it occurred, and receive a summary of the session.

  1. When you're speaking to a user, click on shortcuts.

  2. This will send a request through the chat, and once the user has approved, you'll receive an internal note with the link to co-browse.

Picture-in-Picture

Continue the conversation by taking UserView with you back into Intercom using picture-in-picture.

Picture-in-Picture

Select picture-in-picture mode in the toolbar.
