Access your appointment
The virtual waiting room is a blue screen which will disappear when your doctor joins the session.
The field in the right corner shows yourself if you use a camera. This is what your doctor will see.
When your doctor opens the session you will see them face to face.
You can now talk to your doctor securely, in the same way as if you were visiting in person.
Screen Options
Use the icons to turn your Microphone on or off (mute ), turn the Camera on or off, or Hang up to end the call.
Click on the three dots to display more options:
You can blur your background so the camera only focuses on you. The room behind you will be out of focus.
You could start a presentation which means that you share what you see on your screen with the other participant(s), e.g. your doctor.
Example: you received a letter from your health insurance and want to look at it together with your doctor.Open the Settings - this refers to the camera and microphone settings, and you can check your internet connection (you could also access the Settings prior to the call from the waiting room).
Audio and video settings
Chat Option
You can use the chat function in the top left corner of your screen.
A red dot indicates that there are messages.
Click on the icon to view the chat.
Use the chat, for example if you cannot hear the doctor.
