When you attempt to enter a waiting room or join a participant to a session, SecureVideo launches our videoconferencing application Zoom or VSee for you. However, if you're using Chrome, your browser will ask you to confirm that you want to launch the application, as a security measure. The window looks like this:
If you click Launch Application, or Open URL:VSee Protocol or Open URL:Zoom Protocol Chrome will allow you to proceed. However, if you click Do Nothing, or Dont Open Chrome will remember your preference and you will not be able to use Chrome for your SecureVideo sessions.
If you have accidentally clicked Do Nothing, or Don't Open here are instructions for resetting Chrome.
Instructions for resetting Chrome on Windows
1. Quit Chrome (or else none of these changes will save!).
- Important: Check in the System Tray that Chrome is not allowed to run in the background, or the changes will not save even though Chrome is not actively open.
2. From your Start menu, search for %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default and open the folder Default.
If using a file path, open a folder for your C: drive, then Users -> (your user profile name) AppData -> Local -> Google -> Chrome -> User Data -> Default -> Preferences
AppData is often a hidden folder, so be sure you can view "Hidden Items" if you will be looking for the file through your directory. (Click on the "View" tab and make sure the box next to "Hidden Items" is checked.)
3. Open the file Preferences using Notepad.
4. Within the file, hit the keys Control and F to search for "vsee" or "Zoom". You should see a line that says "vsee": true or for Zoom it will show "Zoom": true
5. Delete true and replace it with false.
6. Save the file.
7. Re-open the file, and verify that the vsee and zoom lines have been changed.
8. Re-start Chrome.
9. Attempt to join your session again.
Instructions for resetting Chrome on Macs
1. Quit Chrome (or else none of these changes will save!).
2. You will need to find and open the file Local State. Open a Finder window, and go to Library -> Application Support -> Google -> Chrome, and find the file Local State.
- On a Mac OS X 7 (Lion) or later: the Library folder may be hidden. To find it, right click on the Finder icon and select Go to Folder... enter "Library".
- On Yosemite if the library is hidden, you may need to follow these steps:
In the Finder menu, choose "Go", then select "Home"
Next, in the Finder menu, choose "View", then "Show View Options"
Make sure "Show Library Folder" is checked then click "Use as defaults"
3. Once you've found the file Local State, double-click to open it using TextEdit.
4. Within the file, hit the keys Command (the Apple key) and F to search for "vsee" or "Zoom". You should see a line that says "vsee": true or for Zoom it will show "Zoommtg": true
5. Delete true and replace it with false.
6. Save the file.
7. Re-open the file, and verify that the vsee and zoom lines have been changed.
8. Re-start Chrome.
9. Attempt to join your session again.
