Feature

Co-Browsing

Agent-assisted co-browsing during video KYC sessions. Guide customers through form filling, document uploads, and application completion in real time -- without screen sharing or remote desktop tools.

Overview

See What Your Customer Sees

Traditional screen sharing exposes the customer's entire desktop -- emails, personal files, browser tabs -- creating privacy concerns and a clunky experience. BASEKYC's co-browsing takes a fundamentally different approach. The agent sees only the specific application page the customer is on, and can interact with it in a controlled, permission-based manner.

During a video KYC session, the agent can highlight form fields, scroll to specific sections, point at buttons, and guide the customer step by step through document uploads and application forms. The customer retains full control of their browser while receiving real-time visual guidance from the agent -- eliminating confusion, reducing errors, and cutting session times significantly.

Key Highlights

  • Privacy-safe browsing -- agents see only the application page, not the full desktop
  • Real-time field highlighting, scrolling, and visual pointer guidance
  • No downloads, plugins, or browser extensions required
  • Guided document upload with drag-and-drop assistance
  • Works seamlessly alongside the live video call on any device

Capabilities

What You Can Do

Synchronized Browsing

The agent and customer view the same application page simultaneously with pixel-perfect synchronization. When the customer scrolls, the agent sees it. When the agent highlights a field, the customer sees the highlight on their screen. DOM-level sync ensures both parties are always on the same page -- literally.

Form Assistance

Agents can point to specific form fields, draw attention to required sections, and visually guide customers through multi-step application forms. For elderly or less tech-savvy customers, this transforms a frustrating self-service experience into a guided, human-assisted process that reduces abandonment rates dramatically.

Document Upload Guidance

Walk customers through the document upload process in real time. The agent can highlight the upload area, guide them to select the correct file, and confirm the upload was successful -- all while maintaining the video call. No more back-and-forth emails about missing or incorrect documents.

Process

How It Works

1

Agent Activates

During the live video KYC session, the agent clicks the co-browse button on their dashboard. The customer receives a simple permission prompt in their browser. Once accepted, the co-browsing session begins instantly with no downloads or installations needed on either side.

2

Browser Syncs

The application page renders on the agent's screen in real time through secure DOM synchronization. Sensitive fields like passwords are automatically masked. The agent can see exactly what the customer sees, while the customer's other browser tabs and desktop remain completely private.

3

Guide in Real-Time

The agent uses visual tools -- highlights, pointers, annotations -- to guide the customer through forms, uploads, and verification steps. The customer fills in their own data while receiving clear, visual direction. Once the task is complete, the co-browsing session ends and the video call continues seamlessly.

Compliance

Privacy-First Co-Browsing Compliance

Session Recording During Co-Browse

Every co-browsing interaction is recorded alongside the video call, capturing agent actions (highlights, pointer movements, annotations) and customer responses in a synchronized timeline. This meets RBI's V-CIP requirement for complete session documentation and creates an audit trail that shows exactly how the agent assisted the customer during the verification process.

Privacy Masking for Sensitive Fields

Sensitive form fields -- passwords, OTPs, bank account numbers, and other PII -- are automatically masked from the agent's view during co-browsing. This field-level privacy control aligns with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) and RBI's data protection guidelines, ensuring agents can assist without accessing information beyond their authorization scope.

Consent-Based Access Control

Co-browsing only activates after explicit customer consent via an on-screen permission prompt. The customer can revoke access at any time, and the session boundaries are strictly limited to the application page. This consent-first approach satisfies RBI customer consent requirements and DPDPA provisions for purpose-limited data processing during verification interactions.

Secure Data Transmission

All co-browsing data is transmitted over TLS 1.3 encrypted channels with no customer page data stored on BASEKYC servers. DOM elements are streamed in real time and discarded after the session ends. This zero-persistence architecture satisfies data minimization principles under DPDPA and ensures co-browsing sessions leave no residual customer data footprint.
