Live Call Monitoring
for AI Voice Bots

See every call your bots have on the line, as it happens, and listen in from your browser. Live Monitor shows the number, the bot, the campaign, a timer and the step each call is on. It is listen-only: you hear both sides, about a second behind, and every listening session is logged. Listening works on bots that take calls as VICIdial remote agents.

  • Every call on the line, live
  • Listen in from your browser
  • Follow one bot
  • Listening is logged

What You See on Every Call

The page updates as calls start, change step and end, so you are never refreshing a report. Summary tiles show how many calls are on the line, how many are in conversation or being transferred, the longest call and how many listening slots are in use. Search by number or bot, filter by campaign, and sort by newest or longest.

Phone number

The number being called, formatted so you can read it at a glance.

Bot number

Which bot has the call, shown as "Agent" and its number (calls from the built-in dialer show no agent number).

Campaign

The campaign the call belongs to, so you can filter by it.

Time on the call

A running timer, so the longest calls are easy to spot.

Status

In conversation, Checking the line (the call has just been answered, or the bot is on its answering-machine check) or Transferring. When the call finishes it leaves the list and appears under Just ended.

Current script step

The name of the step in your script that the call is on right now. For built-in dialer calls the line starts with “Executing”, then the step type, then the step name.

Listen In From Your Browser

Press Listen on a call from a VICIdial remote-agent bot and hear it in your browser, with nothing to install. Use it to check a new script on real calls, hear how leads react to a question, or find out why a transfer is going wrong before it costs you more calls.

Press Follow on a bot to hear each call it takes, one after another, without choosing the next call yourself.

  • You hear both sides of the call in one audio channel, about a second behind.
  • Mute and a volume slider, and live level meters. When the bot server reports separate channels you see Caller and Bot meters; otherwise one Call meter.
  • Listening is passive. It does not change the call and does not affect speech recognition.
  • Several people can listen to the same call. Each browser listens to one call at a time.
  • A listening session ends after an hour, or when the page stops responding, and you can start it again.
  • Below 1280 pixels wide (a phone, a tablet or a narrow window), the listening console opens as a bottom sheet, and a small bar at the bottom of the screen keeps showing the call you are hearing.

Just ended

The last eight calls that ended while you have the page open stay in the list, with the outcome code (for example XFER for a transfer or NI for not interested), the number, the campaign and the duration. A link takes you to Call Logs, where each call's timeline and transcript are kept. The list is empty again after you reload the page.

Who can listen

Your organization's admin. Each organization sees only its own calls. There are 3 listening slots per organization and 2 per person, so listening stays deliberate.

Listening is logged

Every session records who listened, to which call and for how long. There is no screen for this log in your dashboard. VoiceOI staff can listen only while logged in as your organization, and that is logged separately.

Works With Your Bots

Live Monitor listens on VoiceOI's SIP bot servers, which is where bots run when they take calls as VICIdial remote agents. It works for pre-recorded bots and AI agents once those servers carry the latest update, and the VoiceOI team handles that update. Calls placed by the built-in dialer appear on the list too, but listening is not available for them.

Accounts that use the built-in dialer also have a separate Realtime page for the bots, call and lead counts and the calls on each dialing server. Setup details for both are in the monitoring documentation.

What Live Monitor Doesn't Do

Live Monitor does not:

  • Show a transcript, captions or sentiment on the Live Monitor page. Each call’s timeline and transcript are kept in Call Logs. Recordings in the dashboard exist only for built-in dialer calls and for Twilio calls that supply one, so calls from VICIdial remote-agent bots have no VoiceOI recording.
  • Let you talk to the caller or the bot. Listening is one-way: no whisper, no barge-in, no take-over.
  • Hang up a call, force a transfer, or pause a bot or campaign from this page.
  • Let you listen to calls placed by the built-in dialer. Those calls appear on the list, but listening is available on VICIdial remote-agent (SIP) bots only.
  • Show lead details such as a name. It shows the phone number, bot, campaign, timer, status and script step.
  • Record or save what you listen to, or add a recording link to the "Just ended" list.
  • Play a notice to the caller or collect consent for you. There is no consent setting in Live Monitor.

Monitoring and Consent Rules

The rules on listening to or recording a call differ between countries and states, and some require notice or the consent of every person on the call. You are the caller, so you are responsible for any notices, consent and disclosures that apply where you and the person you call are. Live Monitor plays no notice to the caller and has no consent setting. This is not legal advice. See compliance and your responsibilities.

Live Call Monitoring FAQs

What teams ask before they put Live Monitor in front of a floor.

What is Live Monitor?

Live Monitor is a page in the VoiceOI dashboard that lists every call currently on the line for your organization and updates as calls start, change step and end. Each call shows the phone number, the bot, the campaign, a timer, a status and the current script step. If you are your organization’s admin, you can listen in on a call from your browser, on bots that take calls as VICIdial remote agents, once your bot servers carry the latest update.

Can I listen to a live call?

Yes, if you are your organization’s admin and the call comes from a bot that takes calls as a VICIdial remote agent. Listening works once your bot servers carry the latest update, which the VoiceOI team makes. Press Listen on a call and you hear both sides in your browser, about a second behind the call. It is listen-only. You can mute, change the volume and watch live level meters. Calls placed by the built-in dialer show on the list but cannot be listened to.

Can I talk to the caller or take over from the bot?

No. Live Monitor is listen-only. There is no whisper, barge-in or take-over, and the page cannot hang up a call, force a transfer or pause a bot.

Does Live Monitor show a live transcript?

Not on the Live Monitor page. It shows the call and the script step it is on, not the words being spoken. Each call’s timeline and transcript are kept in Call Logs. Recordings in the dashboard exist only for built-in dialer calls and for Twilio calls that supply one. Calls from VICIdial remote-agent bots keep their recording, if you record them, in VICIdial.

Who can use Live Monitor, and is listening logged?

Your organization’s admin can use it, and each organization sees only its own calls. Listening is logged: who listened, to which call and for how long. There is no screen for this log in your dashboard. VoiceOI staff can listen only while logged in as your organization, and that is logged separately.

How many people can listen at once?

An organization has 3 listening slots, and one person can use 2 of them. Several people can listen to the same call. A session ends after an hour and can be restarted.

Does the caller know someone is listening?

Live Monitor does not play a notice or tone to the caller and has no consent setting. Rules on monitoring and recording differ by location, so you are responsible for any notices or consent that apply where you and the person you call are. This is not legal advice.

Does Live Monitor work with VICIdial bots?

Yes. Bots that take calls as VICIdial remote agents run on VoiceOI’s SIP bot servers, and Live Monitor listens on those, for both pre-recorded bots and AI agents. Listening needs bot servers that carry the latest update. The VoiceOI team makes that update. Until your servers have it, you can still see every call on the line.

Hear Your Bots on Real Calls

Live Monitor listens on VICIdial remote-agent bots whose servers carry the latest update. Ask the VoiceOI team whether your setup is ready, or start a two-day free trial.
