Go through it calmly once, before your session. Nobody else is here — you are talking to yourself, so there is nothing to spoil. It takes about a minute.

1 Can you hear
Choose where the sound should go and press the button. You should hear two short notes.
What to do
Check the volume on the device itself, and that sound is not muted.
Pick a different device in the list above and play the sound again.
If your headphones are Bluetooth, turn them off and on again.
Open any video online. If it is silent too, the problem is your computer, not this site.
2 Can you be heard
The bar should move while you speak. Then record a few seconds and listen back — that is exactly how your therapist will hear you.
say something out loud
What to do
Click the padlock to the left of the site address and allow the microphone.
Close apps that may be holding the microphone: Zoom, Skype, Meet, FaceTime, other tabs with a call.
Pick a different microphone in the list above.
If nothing helped, close the browser completely and open this page again.
3 Can you be seen
You should see yourself. While you are here, check that light is not behind you, or your face will be dark.
What to do
Allow the camera via the padlock to the left of the site address.
Check that the camera is not covered by a shutter or sticker.
Close other apps that use the camera.
If something still does not work, write to us before the session rather than during it. We are here and will help you sort it out.
