Joining your appointment
When it’s time for your appointment, open the join link your provider sent you. The link opens the secure video room directly — no app install or separate account is needed.When can I join?
You can open the room from 10 minutes before your scheduled start time until 60 minutes after your scheduled end time. If you arrive earlier, you’ll see a message telling you when the room will open. If you’re more than an hour late, the link won’t open the room. Contact your provider to rebook or join through a new link.Steps
Open the join link
Click the link in your appointment email, your provider’s site, or the booking confirmation
page.
Allow camera and microphone
Your browser will ask permission once. Click “Allow” so the doctor can see and hear you.
Wait if needed
If your doctor hasn’t joined yet, you’ll see a waiting room. The call starts automatically
when they arrive.
What you’ll need
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari) — keep it up to date.
- A working camera and microphone.
- A stable internet connection. Wi-Fi or wired both work; mobile data may be choppy.
- A quiet, private space.
Troubleshooting
The join link says 'Appointment is outside the join window'

You’re either too early or too late. The room opens 10 minutes before the appointment and
stays open for an hour after. Check the time and try again.

Look for the camera icon in your browser’s address bar — it usually lets you toggle the
permission. If your camera is in use by another app (Zoom, Teams), close that app and
refresh the page.

Move closer to your Wi-Fi router, or switch to a wired connection. Closing other tabs and
apps that use the network can also help.
