Start A Live Video

Once you’re logged in to viewabo.com, you will see two main working areas of your window – the top menu bar and a left navigation menu.

1. You can start a new Viewabo Live video session by clicking “Start A Session” in two different places - in the top right on the camera icon, or on the streaming play button icon near the bottom of the left menu: 
2. Select one out of three ways to send a live session link to your customer: 
   ‍
   - SMS text message (you'll need your customer's cell phone number & country)
   - Email
   - Copy and paste the invitation link into a help desk chat or another communication channel.
3. Once you've successfully sent them a link, our live session screen will pop up, awaiting the customer's connection.
4. Once the customer receives and clicks on the invite link, they'll be prompted to check a box to accept Viewabo's terms and conditions.
5. After checking the box, they can click to continue.
6. They will be prompted to 'allow' access to their phone's camera; once they 'allow', they will be real-time live streaming their phone's camera directly to you.
7. The red dot on the tab of your browser window indicates that a live video session is ongoing. You can now start using Viewabo Live to diagnose and resolve your customer's issues.
8. When you finish a live session, click "End Session" to save your session video recording.
