Symptom

If you've had a successful session before, but are running into an error trying to enter another session, you may have a process still running from a previous session.

Possible Causes

If VSee didn't properly close after your last session, the system will not allow you to open another connection. However, you can forcibly end the application process through your Activity Monitor or Task Manager.

 

Resolution

1. Your Task Manager will show you all of the processes that are currently running. Press Control (CTRLAltDelete to start your Task Manager, or right click on your taskbar and select Start Task Manager.

3. Click on the Name column name to sort everything alphabetically and make it easier to find vsee.  Click on "vsee" once to select it, and then click on the "End Task" button in the lower right hand corner.

NOTE: Sometimes the "vsee" process may be hiding within the grouping of the browser's tasks instead of appearing on its own. If you do not see vsee in the main list, please scroll up to the "Apps" section of the list, and click on the ">" sign to the left of the browser you used to launch VSee.

When the section expands, see if you can find "vsee" there. If you do, left-click once to select it, and then click the "End task" button in the lower right hand corner.
