Product Updates
WISC-V Integrated Block Design Multiple Choice Sub-Test
Now included in the Coviu WISC-V Stimulus Book Assessment App is the Block Design Multiple Choice sub-test from the WISC–V Integrated Assessment! The Block Design Multiple Choice sub-test can be used to substitute the Block Design sub-test when manipulatives and a professional facilitator are not available, thus fully supporting the assessment to be administered within the guidelines via telehealth. For more details on the substitution rules that support this replacement, refer to the WISC-V Telepractice Guidance document.
The Coviu WISC-V App is an Assessment that is part of the Pearson Psychology & Behavioral Health Battery. If you already have this Battery installed, this update will automatically be added to the WISC-V Assessment and can be found as the last sub-test within the Assessment. The Block Design Multiple Choice sub-test includes all of the Administration Instructions guiding you on exactly what questions to say for each item.

Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is now available to enable! MFA will increase your platform security immensely by allowing your users to turn on a secondary authentication method in addition to their password, through an authenticator app on their phone. MFA can only be configured at the user-level, meaning that if a user chooses to turn it on, they can. However, Coviu Support can deactivate MFA for a specific user should something go wrong.
Clinic Clerk Role
A new User Role has been added called 'Clinic Clerk'. This role can be assigned to a user within any clinic and will have the level of access that a Team Member has, with the additional ability to manage Team Members. This may assist in bettering the responsibility of Team Member management, as users can be granted access to do this without the risks of having access to other Configuration and Account areas.
Updates to Video Layouts
Updates have been made to the in-call video layout! Creating a more intuitive call experience, the key changes include:
-
A grid layout is now the default layout.
-
Ability to pin a participant to your screen by mousing over their feed and clicking the pin icon. Pinning a participant will split the call into two separate grid layouts with the pinned participant in the second grid. The line that divides the grid is click-and-draggable to adjust the size distribution between the two grids.
-
Video feeds now dynamically scale between 16:9 and 4:3 to maximize the space usage in the call.
Reports are now available on Coviu's Standard Plan!
Coviu account owners and administrators can now access different types of clinic reporting! This feature can be used to collate evidence around roles and activities for audits and reviews and even be utilized for phone call reporting for the Waiting Area where Audio-Only Telehealth is enabled! View our different plan inclusions.
Call Manager Updates
Not long to go till Call Hosts will see an updated Call Manager menu during a call. The Call Manager refers to the right-hand menu that allows the Host to admit Guests into the call and perform a number of other activities.
The new Call Manager will be more compact, allowing you to manage each Guest's actions right from their participant box. This includes the ability to place a Guest on hold, transfer or disconnect them, control individual guest permissions and more!

Custom Virtual Backgrounds
One of our most requested features is not too far away! Soon, you will be able to upload your own custom virtual backgrounds to your in-call video feed. Stay tuned for updates on when this will be available! View our current available virtual background feature here.
