Quick start guide

Logging in

To start a session you will need to login using your username and password which should have been provided to you by now. To reset your password click on “Lost Password” just below the log in button.

Starting a session

Once logged in you will see the main menu on the left hand side, click on “New session” or you can also click on “Start Session” in the top right hand corner. You will need to enter the following information:

  • Mobile phone number with or without a leading zero.
  • Optionally enter the email address instead of mobile number
  • An optional reference for later searching
  • A checklist name if using a Typeform checklist. This needs to be created in the Typeform console and then referenced to display here.
  • Optional notes relating to the session. 

After pressing “invite and join session” you will see a countdown. After the countdown the invite is sent to the remote person and a new tab window is popped with the session join page. If you dont see the popped tab, a blocker may have stopped it. If so please change your settings, you can start the session by clicking “Join Session” in blue as per image to the left.

Joining a session

Once the remote party has clicked the hyperlink sent to them they will have to allow use of their camera and microphone. Then both participants will see the “Join Call” button which they should press.

Waiting for the other participant

Each participant will see this screen if they join first. Once the other participant has joined the session will start.
