Understanding Queue Position Display in Zendesk Chat

Discover how Zendesk Chat's new queue position display works, providing real-time updates to enhance visitor experience.

How does the new queue position display work in Zendesk Chat?

The new queue position display in Zendesk Chat shows the visitor's current position in real-time. Unlike the previous system, which only showed how many visitors were ahead, the updated widget now displays the visitor's exact queue position. For example, if it says 'Queue Position: 1', the visitor is next to be served. This change ensures that visitors have a clear understanding of their wait time.
