Apps are tools and functions available in the Video Call platform that can be used and configured to help enhance your clinic’s interface and experience during the consultation.
To access add-ons go to Apps on the LHS of the clinic dashboard. You will see the available apps for your clinic:

File transfer enables clinicians and callers to transfer a file within a call and needs to be an installed add-on for the clinic, prior to the call. This enables the 'Share a file' tool in Video Call Tools. Other participants will see the name of the file being shared and a download button. |
 |
|

 |
|
Enables highlighter annotation colours when using Video Call Apps & Tools during a call (e.g. collaborating on a PDF or image file or a screen-share). |
 |
|
Enables participants to share more than one Video Call App/Tool at a time (for example, an x-ray and awhiteboard). This enables 'Grid View' tools in the Video Call. |
 |
|
Redirects callers to an evaluation survey or web page after the call. |

 |
|
This appears in Video Call Apps & Tools and allows a YouTube link to be embedded into a call without needing to access YouTube via a browser. Once embedded the video can be played and the playhead moved and this will sync the video and sound for all participants in the call. |  |
