Doximity Dialer Video for Desktop now has a picture-in-picture feature to allow you to better multitask while keeping your patient in view on the same screen.
With picture-in-picture, you can now open your patient's video in a pop-out window before the patient joins. The pop-out window will persist over other open tabs so you can simultaneously view your patient while navigating elsewhere on your computer, allowing for seamless multitasking.
How to use the Picture-In-Picture feature on Dialer Video Desktop:
- Log in to your Doximity account on a web browser on your computer and click on the 'Dialer’ tab (located on the left side of the screen), or go to doximity.com/dialer/home.
- To start a call, enter your patient's cell phone number in the blank field at the top and click the green Video icon.
- While waiting for your patient to join the video call, select the Pop Out Video button in the center of your screen to activate the picture-in-picture video panel.
- To enable Picture-in-Picture once your patient has already joined the call, select the Pop Out Video button in the upper left-hand corner of the screen to activate the picture-in-picture video panel.
- Selecting this button will move your patient's video into a smaller video panel at the side of your screen. This pop-out video panel will remain visible if you switch to other windows or tabs. You can also move and resize the new video panel.
- To resize the video panel, hover over any corner of the video panel until your mouse becomes a double-sided arrow. From there, you can click and drag to resize the video panel to be smaller or larger. You can also click on the pop-out video panel itself and drag it to your preferred corner of the screen.
- To return to the original Dialer Video full-sized screen, you can either click the X in the corner of the pop-out video panel or you can hover over the middle of the pop-out video panel and select the Back To Tab button.
- If you are already on the original Desktop Dialer Video page with your pop-out window still open, you can also select the blue Cancel button. This will return your patient's video to the fixed, full-sized Dialer Video Screen.
