How to Schedule and Join a Video Visit

Convenient care from home 

A video visit lets you see and talk with your doctor using your smartphone, tablet or computer. It’s a secure and easy way to get medical care without having to travel to a clinic, whether you’re feeling sick or just need follow-up care.

To make your visit go smoothly, you will need: 

  • A smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer with a camera and microphone 
  • A strong internet connection (Wi-Fi or data)

Before your appointment, check that your camera and sound are working and your device is fully charged or plugged in.
