OR, if you have to leave the session temporarily or want to switch devices, you must use the Leave Call button, otherwise you will not be able to rejoin the session.
Message: You Already Have an Active Telehealth Session
This means that you have not fully ended an earlier session.
Look for indicators that you're still in a session at the top and bottom of your browser window.

If you don't see these indicators you can simply re-start your previous Telehealth session from the Calendar or Agenda, click End Session (rather than Leave Call), and you should be able to start the new session.

But by readjusting your browser window dimensions to resemble more of a tall rectangle, you will see more of your client's face.
