Self Test on a Mac


The self test lets you see how the videoconference will work. Use this test to check your on-screen image. (Also called a "mirror test".)

  1. In your appointment email, click the Test button in the Self test section. Your default browser opens.
  2. A few panels will appear, where you enter your name and check your equipment. Complete each panel and to continue, click Next.
    Sample panels when starting a test
    • In the Hello, What's your name panel, enter the Name you want displayed to other participants.
    • If a Permission panel appears, allow the app to access your camera and microphone. (Permission is needed only for the first time you join an eVisit or after you clear your browser's cache.)
    • In the Self-view & Join now panel, check that your equipment is working and change as needed.
      Sample screen with Join now
      • Change the camera, microphone, or speakers using the drop-down lists.
      • You can also "Test your microphone" or "Test your sound".
  3. Check your self-view for both the quality of the video signal and your video image. For example, check that your image is:
    • Centered with your head and shoulders in the frame.
    • Not too zoomed-in or zoomed-out.
    • Well lit — lighting should be bright and even.
  4. To end the test call, close the browser window.
