Choices are:
Online: Signifies you're available to answer calls. If you don't answer, Talk waits for 30 seconds, then routes the call to the next online agent.
Away: Signifies internally to other agents that you're not available to take calls. For example, during a break. Calls are routed to another agent who is available to answer.

Am I correct in assuming there are no changes to Talk for those of us migrating/upgrading to the Agent Workspace?
The Agent Workspace is designed to consolidate all the products in one UI. However, the way Zendesk Talk functions will still be the same. I hope this answer your question. Thank you!
We have Talk enabled and Agent Workspace is on. In the comments panel where you select public reply/internal note comment. We do not have the 'call' option available. All we have is the call panel in the top right hand corner.
How do I get this option to appear?
