Apps & Tools: Share an image or PDF
How to share an image or PDF into your Video Call
You can share an image or PDF in your call using this option in the Apps & Tools drawer:
Sharing an image on a computer
| Click on Share an image or PDF to navigate on your computer or device to an image or PDF you wish to share in the call. It will be shared with the other participants in a video call and be available to download using the Resource Toolbar at the top of the shared resource. |
 |
| The Resource Toolbar shows above the shared resource and includes a download option when sharing a resource that can be downloaded (eg a file). You can save PDF and image files with or without the annotations made during the consultation. |
Save 1 page pdf document
Save multiple page pdf document
|
| When sharing a PDF file with multiple pages you can step though the document using the arrows with page numbers at the top right of the Resource Toolbar, and annotate on any required pages. In this example the Social Media section has been outlined for reference during the consultation. |  |
| Participants can click the download button in the Resource Toolbar and if they would like to save the annotations with the file, they can select the option to Save this document with annotations, which will download all pages with any added annotations. Please note: remember to download any shared resources, if required, before the call ends as all information is purged at the end of the call. |

Sharing a real-time camera image on a smartphone or tablet
| Click on the Apps & Tools (plus sign) menu at the top right of the Video Call screen on your mobile device. |  |
| Click on Share an image or PDF from the options displayed. You will be provided with options to choose an action, and you can choose from your photo library, take a photo to share into the call or choose a file. Select Take photo to capture and share a high-resolution still image. |
 |
| Take a photo as you usually would with the camera on your device. Then click on Use Photo confirm image will instantaneously be shared into the call and be viewed by all participants. |
 |
| To return to the call screen, click on the two arrows at the bottom right of the screen. Please note, there is no digital footprint left on Video Call after the consult and the image taken will not be saved. There is the option to download from inside the call before the call ends. |
