What Is A Virtual Queue? 

In a call center, a virtual queue helps to eliminate hold times by allowing callers to choose to hang up and have an agent call them when it is their turn in queue. It uses an Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) to hold queued calls until an agent is available.

  • Can eliminate hold times 

  • Callers do not lose their place in line
