Multi-tasking while on an open engagement

While on an open Zoom Contact Center engagement, agents can switch to other Zoom desktop app tabs; and join another engagement, Zoom Phone call, or Zoom meeting. For example, this can be useful if you need to access Zoom Chat to reach an internal supervisor for help on a consumer engagement.
