Once you and your client have both joined, the pre-join card slides away and the workspace mounts. The layout is intentionally close to what every practitioner has already used in Zoom or Google Meet — your client fills most of the screen, you sit in a corner tile, the toolbar lives at the bottom. The differences are clinical: EMDR is one tap away, the screen-share button opens a picker that includes the whiteboard, and your own face stays visible to your client even when you’re sharing.

  • Main stage — your client’s video. Object-fit to contain so their whole frame is visible regardless of their aspect ratio.
  • PiP tile (bottom-right) — your own camera, mirrored. This is what your client sees of you in their main stage.
  • Toolbar (bottom-center) — six buttons that cover everything you’ll do during a session.

​
The toolbar

From left to right:

​
Microphone (mute / unmute)

Tap to mute, tap to unmute. The icon flips to show current state — a slash through the mic means muted. When you’re muted, the toolbar tile also gets a quiet “muted” badge so you can see it at a glance. If you join the call from the pre-join screen with mic off, the toolbar button starts in the muted state. Tap once to unmute.

​
Camera (on / off)

Tap to turn your camera off, tap again to turn it back on. When your camera is off, your client sees a clean placeholder where your face was. Your audio keeps working.

​
Share screen

Opens a small picker with two options:
  • Share Screen — your operating system’s standard screen picker opens. Pick a window or your whole screen. Your client sees the shared content in their main stage and your camera shrinks to a corner tile on their side. See Sharing your screen.
  • Whiteboard — mounts an interactive whiteboard in the same shared surface. You draw, your client sees it. See Whiteboard.
While you’re sharing, the same button flips to “Stop sharing” — tap to end the share and return to the standard video layout. This button is host-only. Your client doesn’t see a share button on their side and can’t initiate a share themselves.

​
EMDR

Opens the EMDR configuration modal. From there you set the speed (0.4–2.0 Hz), the bilateral stimulation modality (visual, auditory, or both), and any dual-task prompt, then tap Start Set 1. The EMDR workspace takes over the main stage — the client sees the BLS, you see a practitioner-only HUD with controls and SUDS prompts between sets. This button is host-only. The client never sees an EMDR button and can’t trigger BLS. See EMDR overview.
EMDR’s bilateral stimulation has a hard 2.0 Hz speed cap baked in, and the first time you open EMDR you’ll see a one-time photosensitive epilepsy advisory. Read Photosensitive epilepsy safety before your first EMDR session.

​
End call

The red phone button on the far right. Tap to end the session. Both you and your client see a summary card with the session duration. A single tap on End Call triggers a full teardown — the camera, mic, EMDR audio, screen share, whiteboard, and any other subsystem that was running all shut down at once so nothing bleeds onto the post-call screen. See Ending a session.

​
Where the client’s experience differs

The client’s toolbar shows mic, camera, and end-call only. They never see the share-screen, EMDR, or whiteboard buttons. This is deliberate — clinical tools belong to the practitioner. The client can still mute themselves, turn off their camera, and end the call. The end-call button on either side closes the session for both.

​
What’s NOT in the workspace

  • A chat panel. Conversations happen out-of-call in the SMS thread, not in a sidebar inside the session. Keeps the focus on the client.
  • A participants list. It’s a 1:1 session; there are no other participants.
  • Layout switcher (gallery vs. speaker view). With 1:1 sessions, the layout is always client-as-main + you-as-PiP. No layout choices to make.
  • Reactions, emoji, hand-raise. Not part of a therapy session.
  • Record button. Sessions are never recorded.
