Cobrowse Agent Events

Events

Agent Events are the events included within the agent side behavior of Cobrowse, in alphabetical order:

It may include the rcrequested property when an agent requested remote control without having the remote-control privilege.

agents

The agents event announces agents joining or leaving the session. See the visitor-side agents event for more information.
