What Remote Contact Centers Want in 2025: Insights from Our Latest Poll

The contact center industry is rapidly evolving, and as we head into 2025, understanding what matters most to remote teams is critical. CollaborationRoom.ai recently conducted a LinkedIn poll to uncover the features that industry leaders believe will have the biggest impact on remote contact centers in the near future.

Here’s what the poll revealed:

What the Results Tell Us

1. Chatbots for Quick Agent Help Dominate the Conversation (50%)

It’s clear that speed and efficiency are top priorities for remote contact centers. With half of the respondents selecting this option, the industry is signaling a need for tools that empower agents with real-time solutions. Chatbots not only reduce wait times but also provide instant guidance on tricky calls, enhancing both agent performance and customer satisfaction.

2. Secure Multi-Screen Sharing: A Close Second (29%)

Security remains a critical concern for remote teams, and the strong support for multi-screen sharing reflects this. Supervisors need to ensure sensitive data is protected while providing the ability to monitor and assist agents in real time. This feature is pivotal for maintaining compliance without compromising productivity.

3. Customizable Breakout Rooms: A Surprising Third (14%)

While not the top choice, breakout rooms are still valued for their role in fostering collaboration and training. The ability to create small, dedicated spaces for team huddles or coaching sessions can significantly improve agent development and engagement.

4. Agent Emotion Detection Alerts: Underrated but Essential (7%)

Though it received the fewest votes, emotion detection shouldn’t be overlooked. Proactively identifying when agents feel stressed or overwhelmed can lead to timely interventions, improving both employee well-being and overall team performance.
