There can be a few reasons for this to occur.

1. If the visitors have not been mapped to you by your administrator (Visitor Routing), there is a chance that you may not be able to see visitors in the Visitor Online section.

2. If the "Hide the visitors contacted by other operators" option is enabled, it is possible that the other operators have already contacted the visitors on your website.

3. If you are a new operator, it is possible that your new account would take some time to sync like the other operator's account. The new operator can view the visitors who came online after they were added to the portal.
