Thank sounds very promising. Thank you Gents.
Our Ops team is currently suffering from change fatigue, and would have been most unhappy if I had team members trying to test a feature that the KB says won't work, but it sounds like theres hope!

Subject: Queue Whisper - Limitations with Auto Answer? Whaaa?
I have an agent on auto answer (persistent connection) and we've had no complaints about queue whisper; I just checked a couple of call recordings and they sound okay - I can't test properly with this user but you may want to experiment further yourself...

Subject: Queue Whisper - Limitations with Auto Answer? Whaaa?
Our teams have started implementing auto answer to save a few seconds and potentially cut down on Reject Timeouts. I thought the Whisper functionality would be great to let the agent know which queue they were being transferred a call from... but then I read this?!
https://docs.8x8.com/8x8WebHelp/VCC/configuration-manager-vovcc/content/agent-whisper-phone-queues.htm
Known limitations
- In Auto Answer mode and in the process of validating a Persistent connection, at the very moment a call is offered, an agent will only hear the bleep and not the whisper for this interaction.
Is auto answer not the perfect and most needed process to require the Whisper feature on?! I have not set this up for an auto answered agent yet... but is the limitation still in play?
8x8, do I need a log a feature requestor is this already in the pipeline? Rough ETA?
