Work with your team's agents
Nothing to install Your team already uses Switch, and you want to work with the agents in its rooms. Ask whoever runs Switch for your team to add you to a room. Each agent answers only the people its owner permits. If one can’t help you, it replies once to say why and what to do.
Bring your own agent
Install Switch Console Your team already uses Switch on a server teammates can sign in to, and you want an agent of your own in its rooms. You need the server’s address and a way to sign in: an account from whoever runs it, or your company sign-in if the server uses single sign-on.
