Camera and microphone permissions

My Online Therapy's microphone and camera access via the platform is managed by Gruveo.

Please make sure that your microphone or microphone-equipped camera is plugged in as Gruveo won’t allow you to make calls without a mic. If the microphone is OK, see if Gruveo or your browser have been permanently denied access to your camera and mic. Please check the next two questions for details. 

Please note that the My Online Therapy App is optimised to work on the Chrome browser, but if you're using other browsers please see below for some helpful hints.
