How To Change the Default Email System on My Laptop/Computer

When inviting participants to a video meeting or patient consultation and choosing the 'Invite via Email' button, the system uses your laptop/computer default email system.  The entire meeting information will be populated into the email for you.

• 'Copy' - The copied information includes the web URL link ('https...') only, which you must 'paste' into the body of any email platform you choose to use.

• 'View Meeting Invitation' - opens a screen that displays all the Meeting Invitation info, including the web URL link, Meeting ID and Passcode, date and time (if a scheduled meeting), and instructions, which you must 'Copy' & paste into the body of any email platform you choose to use.

If you do not want to use or change the default email system on your laptop/computer, select one of the other two options shown below, go to your email system of choice & create a new message; paste the meeting information into your email and send to the participant(s) you are inviting.
