If you are using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari, you can enable desktop notifications for when a patient comes online--you just have to have your browser running with your SecureVideo dashboard open in a tab. This way, you can be doing something entirely different on your computer, but you'll be notified when your patient is in your waiting room.
