Hi all! Long-time listener, first-time caller šŸ™ƒ

I’m Eamon, and I lead Customer Ops at Playground. We’re exploring expanding our support channels to include video calls (e.g. Zoom).

We serve daycare providers, who are often short on time and not always deeply tech-proficient. We’re thinking video could be a more effective way to handle ā€œHow do I…?ā€ questions -Ā offering a more immersive, high-touch experience that helps them get unstuck quickly.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has rolled out higher-touch channels like phone or video:

  • What worked well?

  • What didn’t?

  • Anything you’d do differently?

  • How did you position it alongside chat/email?

If you’ve had success here, I’d really appreciate the chance to learn from you. Thanks in advance!

Hi Eamon,

It’s so exciting that you’re looking into video support! Since your daycare providers might not be the most tech-savvy, a humble tip would be to treat video as a special 'high-touch' backup for those tricky 'how-to' moments rather than a main channel. You might find it really helpful to use an integration like Zoom or Google Meet right inside the Intercom Inbox; it lets you send a simple, one-click link so they don't have to worry about complicated setups. Another small suggestion is using Audience Rules so the video option only appears for high-priority needs or specific questions where a quick screen share would save everyone a lot of time. Positioning it this way keeps things feeling personal and premium without overwhelming your team's daily workflow.

WeĀ use Learnupon to host our video content and have added a button in the messenger that links to it - I also have a matrix of all available video urlsĀ  with their name and a description of what they show so it surfaces within fin responses . I also upload all our transcripts to enrich reposnses as internal articles or uploaded docsĀ

​@Maria Iglesias - Content LeadĀ  that sounds robust! thanks so much for the info. Curious why you went with learnupon vs intercom’s native video chat?Ā
