Scheduling and access 

Q: I didn’t receive an appointment invitation by text or email. What should I do? 
A: Call your doctor’s office or the eVisit support line at 480-739-9252 to have the invitation resent. 

  • Double-check your Spam or Junk folder. 
  • Make sure the invitation was sent to your correct email address. 

Q: How do I schedule a video visit? 
A: For primary care or specialty care visits, call your doctor’s office directly. 

Technology and setup 

Q: What equipment do I need for a video visit? 
A: You’ll need a device with a camera, microphone and internet connection, such as: 

  • A smartphone or tablet 
  • A laptop or desktop computer 

Make sure your device can stream video and that the camera and microphone are turned on. 

Q: Which browsers and operating systems work best? 
A: 

  • Apple iOS (mobile): Safari only (Chrome and Firefox are not supported) 
  • Android: Chrome or Firefox 
  • MacOS: Compatible on all browsers 
  • Windows: Compatible on all browsers 

Troubleshooting connection issues 

Q: I can’t get past the “Allow Camera and Microphone” screen or received an error. 
A: 

  • Make sure no other apps are using your camera or microphone. Close them, then refresh your browser. 
  • If you denied eVisit access, refresh the page to re-enable permissions. 
  • Confirm your device has both a camera and microphone. 
  • If using an external webcam for the first time, reset browser settings to default and reopen the browser. 
  • Ensure your browser isn’t blocking access to your camera or microphone. 

Q: My camera isn’t working after rejoining the visit. 
A: Turn the camera off, then back on by clicking the camera icon twice in the visit window. 

Q: I clicked “don’t allow” for camera or microphone by mistake. 
A: Refresh your browser to reopen the permission prompt or close the browser and re-click your invitation link. 

Q: My camera is on, but the screen is black. 
A: 

  • Click Settings and ensure the correct camera is selected. 
  • Check your internet connection. 
  • Try refreshing your browser—both you and your provider can do this to re-sync the video. 
  • If using a laptop on a docking station, make sure the laptop lid is open. 

Q: My microphone is on, but there’s no sound. 
A: 

  • Check Settings to ensure the right microphone is selected. 
  • Verify your device volume is turned up. 
  • Try refreshing your browser on both ends to restore sound. 

Q: I received a phone call during my video visit and was disconnected. 
A: 

  • The call temporarily disabled your camera and microphone. Return to the visit window and refresh the browser. 
  • If the browser closed, re-click your original invitation link to rejoin the visit. 

Q: I opened another app and got disconnected. 
A: 

  • Opening another app may pause your camera and microphone. Return to the visit and refresh the browser. 
  • If your browser closed, click the invitation link again to resume.
