Adding AI call screening and shared voicemail.
Following the successful Beta release we’re now rolling out Beta 2 of the 3CX Windows Softphone V5.4. This update introduces AI call screening and adds shared voicemail visibility for queue and ring group agents. Read below for more information on each!
AI Call Screening

With Version 20 Update 8 we introduced the AI Receptionist. Beta 2 now brings this intelligent call screening directly to the 3CX Windows Softphone. When a call is handled by the AI agent, users will see a clear summary of who is calling and why. This information is captured automatically before the call reaches your team.
The call screening text appears clearly in the full screen incoming call window. It’s also shown in the Windows notification for any upcoming incoming calls. This allows users to understand the purpose of the call before answering.
Note: Requires Version 20 Update 8 Alpha.
Shared Voicemail for Queues and Ring Groups

Agents assigned to a queue or ring group can now view voicemail messages left to that group. Each voicemail entry includes:
- Via Queue or Ring Group: Showing the number called and the route it passed through
- Heard by: Identifying the agent who first opened and marked the message as read
This ensures that any shared mailbox activity is visible to all relevant agents and prevents duplicate follow ups.
Note: Requires Version 20 Update 8 Beta (coming soon).
