This is a permissions gap in the platform — there is no granular role-based control over ticket state changes. The problem affects team leads and support managers who need process integrity across shared inboxes.

Intercom Lacks Live Chat or Screen-Share Support for Complex Issues
Users of Intercom's support system find it difficult to resolve complex problems because there is no live chat or real-time screen-share option available for contacting support directly. This forces users to rely solely on asynchronous communication, which makes it harder to explain nuanced or visual issues. The gap is particularly frustrating when a problem requires back-and-forth clarification that text-based tickets cannot efficiently handle.
