Otto in 8x8 Admin Console is tailored to the 8x8 X Series administrator experience. For questions about topics not specific to administrative tasks and roles (e.g., about the 8x8 Work for Mobile application or the Contact Center Configuration Manager for Contact Center portal, etc.), please try using Otto on the Knowledge Base at https://support.8x8.com or in the 8x8 Support Portal (My 8x8).

Connect with 8x8 Support

When Otto can't provide the answers you need, it can connect you directly with 8x8 Technical Support for further assistance.

Note: Otto will initially connect all users to our frontline technical team. Customers who have a designated 8x8 Support contact or who contract 8x8 services through a wholesale reseller are recommended to seek live assistance through their prescribed channels rather than proceed to contact 8x8 Support from Otto.
