Unable to Hear Chat Alerts (on the Keen website)

When a customer initiates a chat with an advisor, the advisor has up to 60 seconds to answer this chat using their monitor.  

If you are being notified of a missed chat that did not ring or if you’re having trouble answering chats, please follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Keep Keen only in one window. Multiple Keen tabs or windows can cause the monitor to refresh.
   
   
2. Within your monitor, select “Test Sound” under the My Availability of your My Keen page or from your monitor.
• You should hear a ring from your computer speakers simulating an incoming chat request. If you don’t hear the sound, please try these steps below.
• Please ensure that you are able to hear other sounds from your computer and if you are using headphones or bluetooth audio, the volume is turned up and you hear other computer sounds through your speakers. Last, we recommend that you test your sound through other popular sites like YouTube on the same browser to ensure you’re hearing sound through your speakers over all.
• If you don’t hear sound through your browser, please double check that you have enabled “Notifications” and “Sounds” within your browser settings.
