Your Video Visit will be just like a visit to our office. It provides for a quiet, private time. It is best to arrange a distraction free environment. See below to learn how to make the best of your visit.
Before Your Visit, Ensure Your Equipment Is Working:
- For Smartphones, check your camera and microphone and know how to operate it so the camera and screen is facing you. It's commonly referred to as "Selfie Mode"
- Verify your speakers, microphone and camera are functioning
- Verify that your volume is turned up so you can hear during the visit
- Check that your battery is sufficiently charged if you are using a SmartPhone
- Close all other applications/apps. This will improve the video quality and reduce battery consumption
- Use your smartphone on a WiFi network to improve the video and audio quality
- If you are unfamiliar with your equipment, ask a family member or friend to assist you
Prepare Your Space:
Choose a quiet, private, well-lit room for the visit. You'll be reviewing personal medical information, so make sure you have privacy for the visit
- Avoid having your back to a bright window or other distracting backgrounds, and avoid backlighting – it'll make your image look dark
- If available, use a mobile phone stand on a solid surface. It's best to have the stand set so the phone is at eye level. Avoid moving the phone or camera during the visit unless the physician/nurse practitioner needs you to
- Check your browser requirements
- Only smartphones and iPads can be used. No computers or laptops can be used
- Mobile Phone/Tablet:
- Apple iOS – Safari 11+
- Android – Chrome
Limit Distractions
- Turn off other devices that may cause distractions during the visit such as TV's, radios or household appliances
- If you have family members or guests in the house with you, ask them in advance to limit conversation during your visit
- If you have pets, they are welcome to your visit too! Dogs tend to bark when their loving human is out of sight; feel free to have them join you if needed to lower their anxiety. You know your furry friend best!
- Consider using a headset during the visit so you and your physician can easily hear one another
- Set your phone to silent and if possible, turn off other application notifications
