When you're in a call, the Call tab in the call adapter is active by default. The Call tab contains buttons for actions that you can take during a call. The Details tab contains information about the call and connects to the CRM that you're using.

Call tab during a call
The Call tab contains the following buttons. Some buttons are optional and appear only if your administrator has enabled them.
Mute: mutes your microphone but keeps the call going
Hold: places the caller on hold
Transfer/Add: this button provides you with three options for transferring or conferencing calls, visible as tabs across the top of the screen: Queue, Agent, or Outside line. In each case you have the option of transferring or adding your selection to the call. For a warm transfer, stay on the call until the transfer is completed, then then click End Call. For a cold transfer, end the call to complete the transfer after selecting the destination. Cold transfers can only be sent to agents or final leaf queues.
Redact (Optional): click this button to stop recording. You will see a banner showing that the call is redacted and the duration of the selection.
Agent Assist (Optional): this button opens the Agent Assist menu, which will optionally display the Knowledge Assist and Live Transcripts options.
Knowledge Assist (Optional): displays a list of relevant articles, if any. If there are no relevant articles the list will be blank. Select an article to open and read it.
Live Transcript (Optional): displays speech bubbles for each message to and from the end-user.
SmartActions (Optional): most SmartActions are only available when the end-user calls in using Mobile SDK. Which options are available depends on your organization's configuration. Click the SmartActions button to open the SmartActions menu. Here you will find options to:
- Request payment
- Request verification
- Request a photo
- Request a video
- Request text input
- Request a screenshot
- Begin a Co-browse session
- Use the Virtual Task Assistant
- Send SMS messages to install or open apps
Hang up and Call Back: click this button to hang up and call the end-user back. This will create a new outbound call and you will see an Account details record in the In-Call menu until the call connects.
End call: terminates the call
