Using Blueprint to record Telehealth Sessions (Zoom)

Using Zoom for your telehealth sessions? This article is for you!

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Blueprint allows you to record and generate Progress Notes for your telehealth sessions, including those conducted via Zoom. Depending on your setup (type of device, if you're using headphones or not), there are different ways to ensure both your and your client’s voices are recorded correctly.

This guide explains:

  • How to record Zoom telehealth sessions without headphones

  • How to record Zoom telehealth sessions with headphones

    • for Windows users (can use the Zoom Desktop App or Zoom Web Client)

    • for Mac users (can use the Zoom Web Client only)

  • Limitations for recording telehealth sessions, regardless of telehealth platform

  • FAQ and troubleshooting common issues


Important

  • Always test voices at the start of your session. Have your client speak while you stay silent, then switch. Watch the green bar under the timer -- it should light up for each person individually but if not, check out our troubleshooting tips below.

  • Always verify you're actually recording. You'll know you're recording if the recording duration timer is running. If it isn't, you aren't recording yet and still need to click the 'Start Recording' button.

  • Never record a telehealth session from a mobile device. Use a computer instead.


Using Zoom without Headphones on a Windows or Mac Computer

If you're not using headphones, you can use either the Zoom Web Client or the Zoom Desktop App.

✅ Zoom Web Client

✅ Zoom Desktop App

  1. Open Blueprint and Zoom (either the Zoom Web Client or the Zoom Desktop App)

  2. In Zoom, start your Zoom meeting

  3. In Blueprint, start a new Session

  4. In Blueprint, make your audio selections then click 'Start Recording'

    • Microphone

    • Telehealth

    • Not using headphones

  5. Verify that Blueprint is actually recording and is picking up both your voice and your client's voice, then conduct your session normally.


Using Zoom with Headphones on a Windows Computer

If you're using headphones on a Windows operating system, you can use either the Zoom Web Client or the Zoom Desktop App.

✅ Zoom Web Client

✅ Zoom Desktop App

  1. Open Blueprint and Zoom (either the Zoom Web Client or the Zoom Desktop App)

  2. In Zoom, start your Zoom meeting

  3. In Blueprint, start a new Session

  7. Verify that Blueprint is actually recording and is picking up both your voice and your client's voice, then conduct your session normally.


Using Zoom with Headphones on a Mac Computer

If you are using a Mac then you must use the Zoom Web Client (not the Zoom Desktop App) to ensure Blueprint captures both your and your client's voices. (This is because unlike Windows, Mac only allows you to share audio from a specific browser tab, not your full system audio.)

✅ Zoom Web Client

❌ Zoom Desktop App

  1. Open Blueprint and Zoom (the Zoom Web Client)

  2. In Zoom, start your Zoom meeting

  3. In Blueprint, start a new Session

  4. In Blueprint, make your audio selections then click 'Start Recording'

    • Microphone

    • Telehealth

    • Using headphones

  5. Click Share browser audio + begin recording

  6. In the pop-up within the "Tab" section, select the browser tab where your Zoom meeting is. Make sure the 'Also share tab audio' is toggled on, then click `Share` to begin your recording

  7. Verify that Blueprint is actually recording and is picking up both your voice and your client's voice, then conduct your session normally.


FAQ

Can I record telehealth sessions on the Blueprint for Therapists app?

No, Blueprint cannot record telehealth sessions (in Zoom or any telehealth platform) from a mobile device.
