If you use VSee for video calls, you might have noticed it sometimes opens in your browser instead of the app. This can be frustrating. To get VSee to open in the app, not the browser, you need to adjust a few settings. This guide will help you fix this issue easily.
Why Does VSee Open in the Browser?
VSee is designed to work on both browsers and apps. However, if your device defaults to the browser, it’s likely due to settings or links not being configured properly. Sometimes, browser redirection happens because of how the link is shared or clicked.
Steps to Get VSee to Open in the App
Follow these steps to ensure VSee opens in the app:
1. Install the VSee App
First, make sure the VSee app is installed on your device. You can download it from:
- Google Play Store for Android.
- Apple App Store for iOS.
- Microsoft Store for Windows.
2. Set the App as Default
To prevent VSee from opening in the browser, set the app as the default option:
- On Android:
- Go to Settings.
- Tap Apps or Applications.
- Find VSee in the list.
- Select Open by default.
- Enable Open supported links.
- On iOS:
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and select VSee.
- Tap Open Links.
- Choose In App.
- On Windows:
- Open Settings.
- Go to Apps > Default apps.
- Find VSee and set it as the default for video call links.
3. Use Direct Links
If someone shares a VSee link with you, make sure to click it directly in the app. Avoid clicking VSee links in emails or messages that open in the browser. Instead, copy the link and paste it into the VSee app.
4. Check Browser Settings
Sometimes, your browser settings can override app defaults. To fix this:
- On Chrome:
- Open Chrome and go to Settings.
- Tap Site settings.
- Find Open links in apps and enable it.
- On Safari:
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Scroll down and select Safari.
- Enable Open links in apps.
5. Update the VSee App
Ensure you are using the latest version of the VSee app. Outdated apps may not work properly and could default to the browser. Check for updates in your device’s app store.
Troubleshooting Tips
If VSee still opens in the browser, try these troubleshooting tips:
1. Clear Browser Cache
Your browser might be storing old settings. Clear the cache:
- On Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
- On Safari: Go to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
2. Reinstall the VSee App
Uninstall and reinstall the VSee app. This can reset any incorrect settings causing the issue.
3. Contact VSee Support
If the problem persists, reach out to VSee support. They can provide specific solutions for your device.
