Limitations of multiparty call

Genesys Cloud limitations

  • For optimal performance, multiparty call must be initiated within the Service Cloud Voice and remain within the environment.
  • Only the first agent who creates the multiparty call has permission to use the Add User function to add additional participants directly to the multiparty call.
  • Salesforce enforces a maximum limit of six participants per call. The Service Cloud Voice user interface prevents users from adding participants beyond this limit; however, Genesys Cloud does not enforce this restriction. If more than six participants are active in the multiparty call, the integration will display a newly joined participant only after an existing participant disconnects.
