To make it easy for you to navigate to the Video Call sign-in page, you can set up shortcuts on your computer. There are four different types of shortcuts:

• browser bookmark (also known as your favourites)
• desktop icon
• start menu
• task bar

Set up the shortcut that best suits the way you work ... or set up all of them if that's what you want.

Browser bookmark

Open a supported browser: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari or Mozilla Firefox.

Enter https://vcc.healthdirect.org.au/login in the address bar.

In Google Chrome, click on the star at the right side of the address bar (top right screen), type in the name you want to appear (e.g. Video Call login) and select 'Bookmarks bar' from the folder dropdown menu. Click 'Done'.

In Apple Safari, go to the Bookmarks menu and select 'Add bookmark'. Select 'Favourites' from the dropdown menu and type in the name you want to appear (e.g. Video Call login). Click 'Add'.

Your shortcut will appear in your favourites across the top of your browser window.

Desktop icon

Open a supported browser: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari or Mozilla Firefox.

Enter https://vcc.healthdirect.org.au/login in the address bar.

Google Chrome instructions:

• In Chrome, go to the Video Call Sign in page and then click the 3 vertical dots at the far right of the address bar. Select Cast, Save and Share, then Create Shortcut. 
• Give the shortcut a name click Create.
• A desktop icon will appear on your desktop.

In Safari, select the entire Sign in page URL (web address) in the address bar and drag it onto the desktop.

Start menu or task bar

If you are using a Windows operating system and have created a desktop icon (see above), you can use it to create an item in your start menu or on your task bar. 

Right click on the desktop icon and choose 'Pin to start' and/or 'Pin to taskbar'. Your start menu (bottom left of screen) and/or task bar (bottom of screen) should now contain this shortcut.

Available desktop icon (.ico) Files

There are multiple options available to use as your desktop icon file. Below are the example icon files. You can right click and save these files to your desktop.
