What is the Apps & Tools+ menu lock?
There are a number of tools (also referred to as Apps) available through the Apps & Tools+ menu when you're on a video call. Some of these Apps are also available to your client or patient and some are not.
Sometimes, there are cases where you are in a consultation or session where you do not want your client or patient to interact with the Apps & Tools+ menu.
The instructions below will show you how you can lock the Apps & Tools+ menu so only you (as the provider) can interact with it.
How to lock or hide the Apps & Tools+ menu
- Log in to your Coviu account as you normally would.
- Enter the call with your client or patient.
- Click Apps & Tools+ on the bottom right corner of the call interface.
- Check the Make Apps & Tools view-only for guests checkbox to lock the Apps & Tools+ menu from your call participants and remove their ability to annotate your shared image, PDF, screen or whiteboard.
- Check the Hide App drawer from guests checkbox to only lock the Apps & Tools+ menu from your call participants; they will still be able to annotate your shared image, PDF, screen or whiteboard.
- Uncheck the checkbox(es) to revert the changes made.
