What should I do if I can't hear the medical professional on the call? Check to make sure the sound isn't muted on your Chromebook or the device. To do this, click on the clock in the bottom right corner to open the taskbar. You should see a speaker icon. You can control the volume by moving the slider up and down. Help! My doctor can't see or hear me. How can I fix this? If you see a slash through the video or audio button, that means they are turned off. Click on the video and/or audio buttons to turn them on. I can't connect to the video call. What should I do? Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try: 1. Close the browser (or app) and restart it. 2. Check to make sure your device is plugged in and charged. 3. Check your Internet connection. A slow WiFi connection can cause video and audio to lag. If your WiFi is causing issues, try unplugging your WiFi router and plugging it back in to restart it. 4. Make sure you've installed all browser and Chromebook updates. 5. If that doesn't work, try calling the doctor's office to get help over the phone. They usually have someone on staff who is knowledgable about the video conferencing platform and patient portal. |
