This is the first big update for 2019. The greatest changes were made to Kalix's Telehealth (Virtual Meeting) and Billing functionalities.
New features include Safari, iPad and iPhone support for telehealth, Square credit card reader integration and credit card in-person partial payments & co-payments.
Telehealth (Virtual Meetings)
Safari, iPad & iPhone Now Supported
Kalix's telehealth feature is now supported on Safari (Macs, iPhones and iPads).
Please note: Safari currently has limited support for group telehealth appointments. Video sharing may not work for conferences with more than 2 participants. Screen sharing is currently not available on Safari* we hope to offer this as a future update.
*Screen sharing is supported on Mozilla Firefox and Chrome (Mac and PC).
Mute Participants on Entry
You can now mute (audio and/or video) all participants on entry to telehealths meetings.
Alternatively, once participants have entered the meeting, you can also mute specific people if required.
Change in Navigation
For easier navigate on smaller screens, different sections of the telehealth feature (Set-up, Chat and Participants) were given different tabs.
Connection Strength
Kalix displays both your computer's and your participant's connection strength for meetings.
Poor or non-optimal connections may indicate the sending and receiving video and audio is in low quality or stalls are occurring.
Rating of Video & Audio Quality
We have introduced the ability for you and your participants to rate the quality of video and audio during a telehealth session. This will allow us to have a better understanding of any issues that are occurring.
Change to the Format of Email Appointment Messages
We have made changes to the layout of telehealth appointment reminders and notices. The link and meeting information now stands out much more.
Updates to Billing
Square Credit Card Reader
Kalix now supports the Square Credit Card Reader for in-person payments (iOS and Android).
Easier In-Person Payments
