Microphone monitoring and analytics are provided. An initiation of a new contact session is determined that includes a communication interaction between a contact center agent (CCA) having a microphone and a contacting individual (CI). Prior to an end of the new contact session, a non-audio mode wherein audio signals received by the microphone are not communicated to the CI is determined. Audio signals received via the microphone during the non-audio mode are analyzed. An utterance spoken by the CCA is identified. Contact session metadata is generated based on the utterance. A contact session record that includes the contact session metadata is generated. The contact session record is stored.

Microphone monitoring and analytics

A computing device including a processor device determines that a contact center agent (CCA) is in a non-contact session mode. A particular open conference session of a plurality of open conference sessions is identified. A CCA device associated with the CCA is connected to the particular open conference session.

Virtual water cooler discussion sessions

An instant text message conductor is provided. A server device receives an instant text message from a user entity. The instant text message is addressed to a conductor entity. It is determined that a previous instant text message from the user entity was sent to a first potential responder entity. The instant text message is sent to the first potential responder entity. The server device determines that no response to the instant text message will be received from the first potential responder entity within a first period of time. A second potential responder entity is selected from a predetermined set of potential responder entities. The previous instant text message, a first response instant text message sent by the first potential responder entity in response to the previous instant text message, and the current instant text message are sent to the second potential responder entity.
