Lyssn is excited to support telehealth within its platform. When a telehealth session is initiated, a URL is generated for you to email to your client. Clients can access Lyssn’s telehealth using smartphones and tablets (android or iphone) or laptop/desktop computers. At the present time, Lyssn’s platform requires counselors to use laptop/desktop computers using Chrome browser.

If you have any questions or challenges related to the telehealth platform, please contact support@lyssn.io.

If you are new to the Lyssn platform, please visit the Create a Client page for how to add clients. Once you have one or more clients entered into the platform, click on the client’s name, and you will see a list of their previous sessions.

If you and your client would like to record BOTH audio and video, please select the button next to Record both video and audio.

*note that recording both audio and video is not recommended for slow internet connections.

Once you have selected one of the three recording options, please select the orange Start Session button at the bottom right corner to begin.

The Settings button will allow you to change your audio and/or video devices throughout the session.

1. Plug-in an external microphone to your computer, phone or recording device. We recommend a small USB plug-in microphone like Samson Go. Place the microphone directly between the two speakers as shown; the closer the microphone is to the mouth of the speakers the better the audio quality. Better audio quality means better transcription and more accurate analysis of your recording.

Microphone should be placed between the two speakers with a short-distance between. The closer the microphone is to the speaker’s mouth, the better the recording quality. Choir microphones can be placed above the speakers’ heads for a more permanent recording set-up.

2. Minimize background noise in the room. Turn off white-noise machines, music or any other background noise to improve sound quality.

White noise machines that are inside the treatment room should be turned-off.

3. The first time you log into the Lyssn platform, your web browser will ask permission to use your microphone and camera (if applicable). Select allow when presented. If you are not asked or are uncertain which microphone your computer is using, follow these steps:

• Select the 3 vertical dots in the very upper right corner of your screen.
• From the drop menu, select Settings.
• From the settings window, select Advanced. This will open a drop down menu where you will click on Privacy and Security.
• Select Site Settings from the list. This will open a new section where you will select Microphone. At the top of this window you will click on the down arrow and then click on Samson Go.

This will take you to the recording page. Click the orange Rec button when you are ready to begin recording. Make sure that the microphones are recording your voices.
