Audio setup:

Mobile app setup:

Instructions appear on that page, but they are a little oddly worded (such as referring to "college"), so here are the other steps.
-
Install "Brainfuse HelpNow" from your app store.
-
From the login page, select "Login with a QR Code".
-
Use the app on your mobile device to scan the QR code that appears on the My Account page in the web browser of the other device, or enter the verification ID displayed near the code.
