Troubleshooting audio or video call issues

If you or the patient is having trouble joining an audio or video call, please have the party experiencing the issue perform the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Ensure your web browser's permissions allow Maple to access audio and video. You can update your permissions under Settings on your browser. On Google Chrome, you can click the lock icon in the address bar to access the site-specific permissions directly.

  2. Refresh the webpage.

  3. Exit and re-open the browser. Ensure you've fully closed the running app on your computer before re-opening.

  4. Ensure you're using the most up-to-date version of Google Chrome by consulting google.com/intl/en_ca/chrome/update.

  5. Decline the current call and submit a new audio or video call request.

  6. If available, switch to a stronger internet connection.

  7. Contact Customer Support by visiting getmaple.ca/contact-us.
