    Right-Click this icon to access options for VSee, the Address Book, or to open the VSee window again if you have closed it. As long as that icon is in the system tray, other users will be able to call you.
  9. There are three different methods to start a VSee call.
    Method A: Enter the name of the person you wish to contact into the webpage before clicking Start VSee.

    Note: Contacts will not be added automatically to the address book. To manage your contacts, click “Address Book” to open a separate window, then click Add or Delete to manage contacts.

  10. To begin a multi-user call, you must click Menu > Call > Host meeting. This will set you as the host, now you must add users individually. First call each person you want to invite to the meeting using the instructions in step 9. Once they have answered the call and you see their window on your screen, click the Menu button in their window and click “Add to meeting.”

    Any users added to your meeting will see the video windows of all other meeting members. Also in this picture you can see the volume slider. Adjust this for each person if they are louder or softer than other users.

  11. Once a meeting has been established, the Application sharing feature will allow you to share any window you have open with the other users in the meeting. Click Menu > Share > Application and you will see a list of all currently running windows. Click on the one you want to share.

    The window that you selected will have a few buttons in the title bar:

    • The Pen button allows you to draw in that window; all users will see your drawing annotations.
    • Clicking Erase removes all annotation from the screen.
    • When hosting an application, the Ctrl button allows or disallows others to take control of your mouse and keyboard for the shared window. When viewing someone else’s shared application, the Ctrl button requests control and allows you to use your mouse and keyboard to control that application as if it were your own.
    • Clicking Exit stops sharing the application and the window closes on all users’ screens.
  12. To end a call, simply close your VSee window. You will no longer send audio or video, but the program icon will remain in your system tray so that you may accept incoming VSee calls or open the window again.
