If you do not see the ‘Join now’ button appear when you open the app you should navigate to the home page, press the appointments tab at the top of the page and tap the ‘Join now’ button on your upcoming appointment.

Step 2: Waiting room

Once you press ‘Join now’ you will enter the waiting room.

It is important to stay on this screen until the clinician allows you into the appointment lobby, otherwise you may experience issues joining your appointment.

If this is the first time joining an appointment you may be asked to accept camera and microphone permissions on your device.

Step 4: Your appointment

After pressing the ‘Join’ button your call will connect and you will meet your clinician.
