# Video sessions

> Therapy-grade video built into Rivet — your permanent waiting room URL, a browser-only client experience, and EMDR + whiteboard in the same call.

Rivet's video is built for the therapy session, not the generic Zoom call.
Your clients click one link, land in a pre-join screen that lets them check
their camera and mic, and join you. No app to install, nothing to download,
no account to create. EMDR, screen share, and whiteboard all live inside the
same workspace — you don't switch tools mid-session.
