I'm an office manager and we just added Telehealth because of the current health situation. (At least) one of my clinicians is not able to see the telehealth office option on the mobile app which means she can't set up telehealth appointments and she can't start a video call from the app. Is there something we need to do to allow that functionality from our side (or from within her app)? If not, who can I contact to help with the problem?

Hi Maggie,
If you're experiencing issues with conducting a Telehealth video call, I recommend following these steps first:
- Update your device's operating system and browser version
- Clear your browser cache
- Make sure that your device is optimized for using our Telehealth feature
Next, you can use TokBox's Pre-call Tool to make sure that you and your clients are set up for success in your appointments.
Also, in order to make sure your microphone and camera, as well as your clients' microphones and cameras are enabled for Telehealth, please review this guide on Getting Started with Telehealth.
In the meantime, you can find more detailed information about our Telehealth feature and best practices for usage from the following Help Center guides:

Hi Debra, happy to help. All SimplePractice customers receive a free 30-day trial of Telehealth by SimplePractice during their initial trial period.
Because the client does not have an email on file, SimplePractice cannot send the link to the client automatically. To share the link with the client outside of SimplePractice, click on the Calendar appointment for the session, click Copy Link, and send it to the client outside of SimplePractice. -
Hi Yazmin - Currently, there isn't a way for you to get a record of your Telehealth call logs and their duration. However, I'd encourage you to add this to our Ideas and Suggestions Board for further consideration.
