Allow access to the microphone

To participate in a video session, you must allow PsyCare to access your camera and microphone. You may have accidentally clicked Block, preventing your therapist from hearing you.. Click here to see how to allow access to your camera and microphone.

Your microphone is currently being used by other software

PsyCare cannot use the camera or microphone because they are being used by other software..
If you only have a camera or microphone, make sure you close any other software that is using them (e.g.. Skype, Whatsapp Web, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime…) or turn off and on your PC or smartphone again.

If you have multiple cameras or microphones, you can choose which one to use:
1. Inside the waiting room, select the audio or video input you want from the drop-down menus and refresh the page.

2. If you are already in the virtual room, open the side column and, in the tab Settings, select the devices you want to use from the drop-down menus. Finally, refresh the page.

Your therapist's audio output is currently being used by other software

PsyCare cannot use the audio output because it is being used by other software..
Ask your therapist to make sure you close any other software that is using it (e.g.. Skype, Whatsapp Web, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime…) or ask him to restart his PC or smartphone.

Your therapist's audio output is not the one he is using

If your therapist is using a PC and has more than one audio output (e.g.. headphones and built-in computer speakers), you may have set the audio output to the one you are not using.

Windows

To select the correct audio output:

1. Click on the icon Speakers in the bottom right bar
2. Then click on the name of the audio output and select the one you want to use.

MacOS

To select the correct audio output:

1. Click on Apple > System Preferences and then click on Security and Privacy
2. Select the device you want to use from the audio output device list.

Make sure your microphone is not muted

Inside the video session, the microphone icon in the bottom bar must not be crossed out but rather look like the image you see below.

If you are using a headset, make sure you have not muted the microphone using the headset button.

Does your therapist have the speakers on?

Ask them to check that they haven’t muted the sound or turned the volume down too low. If they’re using external speakers, ask them to check that they’re turned on and that the cable is plugged in properly.
