Telehealth in Action 

A virtual appointment has several benefits, including shorter wait times and the ability to take the appointment from a convenient location. 
Preparing for a video visit
This link has everything you need to know about having a successful virtual visit. 
PREPARING FOR A VIRTUAL VISIT
Video Meetings
All Telehealth video portals are slightly different, but most have similar buttons (or icons). Here's a guide to what they mean:  
Picture
Video: This button controls your camera. If you see a line or a slash through the button, the person on the call can not see you. 
Picture
Audio: This button controls your microphone. If you see a line or a slash through the button, the person on the call can not hear you. 
Picture
Chat: If you click on this button, you can send a written message to the person on the call.

Ending the call: This button allows you to end the Telehealth call. 
Practice with Zoom
Zoom is a common videoconferencing platform that will have many similarities to the online videoconferencing platform that a doctor will use to meet virtually with patients.

Review the basics of using Zoom and practice videoconferencing to get a sense of what it will be like to to talk with a doctor virtually.

Video conferencing FAQs

What should I do if I can't hear the medical professional on the call?

Check to make sure the sound isn't muted on your Chromebook or the device. To do this, click on the clock in the bottom right corner to open the taskbar. You should see a speaker icon. You can control the volume by moving the slider up and down. 

Help! My doctor can't see or hear me. How can I fix this?

If you see a slash through the video or audio button, that means they are turned off. Click on the video and/or audio buttons to turn them on. 

I can't connect to the video call. What should I do?

Here are a few troubleshooting steps to try:
1. Close the browser (or app) and restart it. 
2. Check to make sure your device is plugged in and charged.
3. Check your Internet connection. A slow WiFi connection can cause video and audio to lag. If your WiFi is causing issues, try unplugging your WiFi router and plugging it back in to restart it.
4. Make sure you've installed all browser and Chromebook updates.
5. If that doesn't work, try calling the doctor's office to get help over the phone. They usually have someone on staff who is knowledgable about the video conferencing platform and patient portal.
