Video assistance glossary

All the key terms for understanding the visual agent, video assistance and what is at stake, explained simply.

Video assistance

Technology that lets an agent guide a customer remotely through interactive video, to diagnose a problem without a site visit.

Visual agent

Live annotation

A feature for drawing or writing directly on the video stream in real time to guide the other person visually.

Virtual laser pointer

A cursor overlaid on the video to point precisely at an element on screen during the call.

White label

Full customisation of the video interface (logo, colours, domain) with the client company's branding.

Zero installation

The principle that the end customer does not need to install any app to join a video assistance session: a simple SMS link is enough.
