Tips on Telehealth Visits
Sometimes, there may be issues with the patient's video connection. For example, if their video connection is not enabled, their screen will appear "blank" and you will be unable to see them. In cases like this, it’s possible that the camera on the patient side is either not set up properly or the browser doesn’t have permission.
Some of our users have found that patients using Chrome or a mobile device work best.
Since we do not have access to the patient's device, some questions to ask to help troubleshoot are:
-
Do you have a Webcam on your device?
-
Do you have it set up correctly to have video calls?
-
Which browser do you use?
-
Did you give permission to the browser to access the Camera & Microphone?
-
If the patient is using a computer, are they able to join instead on a mobile device? Sometimes a mobile device is easier to join video visits with.
