Post updated: March 10th 2016
This week, VSee released new versions for Windows, Mac, and Android. The iOS versions of this release will be coming soon.
For this release, we are very excited to announce our new HIPAA-compliant image transfer via chat. This will allow patients and providers to easily share photos and screenshots with each other even on mobile devices.
Please note that due to the changes to the way VSee now stores its chat history, the chat history from pre-3.2 sessions is no longer displayed inside the client. This information is still available your hard drive. We’ve written a FAQ article about how to retrieve it.

With this new version, only Calls are encrypted end-to-end?
Chat aren’t encrypted end-to-end?
Thanks
VSee chats are always sent encrypted end-to-end.
However, they are stored in clear text locally on your device(s), so you want to secure the device you use.
Is there an option to clear chat from the WIndows Version? I think I found it in the mac version under “File > Delete Conversation” – is there a shortcut key or something to do it under windows? I’ve been looking for an hour and havent found anything. I tried CTRL+Backspace and CTRL+Delete (as well as CTRL+SHFT+___ and ALT+____) with no luck. I also checked “Edit Profile” but nothing was there..
Unfortunately this feature has been removed after we took out the separate chat history button.
We’re working to re-add this in a next release.
You can delete _all_ history by going to your %appdata%/vsee folder and removing the chat history file.
