OVERVIEW
Magnavision is a web-based mobile videoconferencing system which allows professionals (doctors, realtors, factory managers, etc) to confidentially engage with any client anywhere in the world on-demand without requiring client registration or sign-up procedures. There are no friends lists or online status messages to deal with. Magnavision provides immediate two-way "virtual closed circuit" communication between you and your clients on-the-fly in an entirely private atmosphere without creating or exposing an online social presence.

Many clients, particularly the elderly and busy professions find it inconvenient and an intrusion on their privacy to go through a registration process and display their online behaviors, which is demanded by most video chat systems. Magnavision eliminates this inconvenience and intrusion.

GETTING STARTED
If you are a client wishing to enter a conference with your realtor, doctor, etc, then install this app (see "supported devices" below) and obtain a passkey from your host. In order for a professional to be able to invite clients to videoconference you must first register (your clients do NOT register, they just download this app). Click "Sign-Up" at www.magnavision360.com and register your email ID and User Password (eg. "bluesky"). Your host passkey is a hyphenated combination of your password (which you created when you first signed-up) and the 8 digit passkey that you generated after sign-up.

METHOD 1: Simply enter your host passkey (e.g. "bluesky-12345678") on your device and have your client enter the suffix on their device (e.g. "12345678"). Rather than generating a new 8 digit passkey for each conference, you can re-use the same passkey for all future conferences if you wish.

METHOD 2: If you wish to generate a new passkey, you would go to the homepage and Log-in and then click "Generate Passkey". This creates a unique 8 digit passkey (e.g. "12345678"), which you would provide to your client. You can choose to either initiate the videoconference instantly by pressing "Start Videoconference", or alternatively you can Logout and enter the conference at a future time with the new passkey using Method 1.

After entering the passkey you will see a "Waiting for Partner" message. Once both Parties have entered valid passkeys and this message disappears, both you and youre client must click the ALLOW button near the top of the browser. This allows your browser to activate your webcam and begin the conference. When the conference is finished, click EXIT to leave the conference.

SUPPORTED DEVICES
On an iPhone or iPad: from the iTunes store, install the app called “Magnavision WebRTC” (do NOT install “Magnavision Non-WebRTC” !!) and enter the passkey.

On a PC (Windows) or Mac: using a Firefox or Chrome browser (not Safari! IE will also work, but prompts for a plug-in the first time), go to www.magnavision360.com and enter the passkey on the homepage
