Video Conferencing
I use VSee which is HIPAA compliant.
VSee is currently having issues scaling up with the recent increase in demand due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
They have suspended their free messenger so the only way to get in is via my personal link.

If you are a New User your instructions are below on the Left.

If you are an Existing User follow the directions below on the Right.
New Users:
Click New Users & Existing Users Link to:
- Sign up. This also adds you to my network
- Download the program
- Open the program and become familiar with the program.
- Go into Settings and set up your Audio and Video
Do this way in advance of our meeting time so you have plenty of time to set up the program and become familiar with it.
On the day we meet you will need to log into the program following the instructions on the right for Existing Users.
You will not be able to get in by signing directly into the app itself during this overload time. You must Save this Page so you can return to this web page and click the New Users & Existing Users link. Or, you can copy the link in the browser window and save it somewhere you will remember it.
Existing Users:
Now that you have already downloaded the program you will need to sign in via this New Users & Existing Users link.
If you try to sign in directly in the app you downloaded, they will ask you to pay. If you sign in via the New Users & Existing Users VSee knows you are in my network and you get in for free.
Make sure to scroll down for more information for set up and preparation:
PDFs and Video instructions for set up.
Information about headsets.
This program is used by many healthcare organizations. You will be downloading the program for free to join my network (similar to Skype). You can sign out of the program after each meeting. It is also used to conference with the space station so has the capacity to throttle up and down with speeds to create as much stability as possible.

After you have signed up for an individual consultation time, or a group, please download the program and familiarize yourself with how it works, PRIOR to the meeting.
The guides above will help. They make it easy.
This link will take you to VSee’s YouTube playlist of tutorials to check out in advance.
Once I receive confirmation you have accepted my invitation to VSee I will add you to the appropriate list in my contacts.
Make sure you have a headset with a microphone and headphones available when we meet. Your computer’s microphone can pick up your speakers and feed it back into the conference causing echos, and painful feedback. Using a headset prevents this.
Please plan to use your computer so I can send you documents through program as we are meeting. I often use screen share as well for resources.
If you work for an agency, make sure they do not have software blocking programs. Ask your IT department to help you set VSee up. If they cannot do so, or they have very old equipment, consider bringing your own laptop to work and download VSee on your laptop. As a last resort you can download a phone app (Apple or Android) and use it. If you use a phone app make sure your are on Wifi or have a large enough data plan that will accommodate you doing video conferencing. I will not be able to send a document to you if you are on a phone app.
