Copy and paste during Cobrowse sessions
Answer ID 12161   |   Last Review Date 04/07/2022

What happens when an agent copies text from their computer and pastes it through Cobrowse?

Environment:

Chat, Cobrowse
Oracle B2C Service

Issue:

When agents copy text from their computer and paste it through Cobrowse on the customer's computer, sometimes the text cannot be pasted or another text is added. 

Resolution:

Several behaviors can be observed with copy and paste during Cobrowse, depending on the type of Cobrowse session.  

  • Either in ICB or ACB Cobrowse, when Mode is set to View Only or View + Pointer, text cannot be pasted by the agent.
  • In ICB Cobrowse, when Mode is set to Full Control, text copied from the agent's computer can be pasted on the customer's computer.
  • In ACB Cobrowse, when Mode is set to Full Control, the agent will paste the text that has been copied last from the customer's computer.
