Video sessions are available on your computer, laptop, mobile phone or tablet. Use Google Chrome for using the Minddistrict platform, unless you’re using an iPhone or iPad. In that case, use the (standard) Safari browser. You can also video call with the Minddistrict app. Read more about video calling with the Minddistrict app(Opens in new window).
