With TherapyNotes Telehealth, you can share any screen or application on your computer with your client to engage in activities, review worksheets, and more.
Screen sharing is available on any desktop or laptop computer with an up-to-date web browser. You cannot share your screen from a mobile device like a tablet or smart phone, but any client using a mobile device may still see your screen.
Both clinicians and clients can share their screen during telehealth sessions.
Role Required: Clinician
To share your screen:
- While in a telehealth session, click the Start screen share button
or press the keyboard shortcut Alt + S.
- Your browser will prompt you to share access to your screen:
-

Note: Be aware that Safari does not allow you to select a specific screen or window to share, so your entire desktop will be shared. Please ensure that any browser tabs or programs that show PHI or sensitive information are closed prior to sharing your screen in Safari. To share a specific screen or window, we recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
