Troubleshooting a Video Call

Here, you will learn how to troubleshoot your video conference if you cannot see or hear your patient.

If you cannot see or hear your patient:

  • Confirm that their camera setting allows for applications or web browsers to access their camera and microphone. This can be updated in their device's camera/microphone settings or permissions. You may also need to allow access in the web browser itself. 
    • If using a web browser, such as Google Chrome, these settings can be updated by clicking the lock icon located to the right-hand side of the url.
