Audio & Video Chat is currently allowed at the one-on-one session, which means direct talking between one visitor and one agent. Another visitor will not be able to start an audio or video chat with the same agent. Another agent cannot join an ongoing audio or video chat, but the agent can join in sending text messages as usual.
