How To Join a 'Video Meeting' You Are Invited To

A healthcare provider may send you an invitation to join a video meeting with them. 

• You may join these video meetings whether you have a 'SK Virtual Visit' account or not, as long as the meeting host allows you in.

The invitation is sent to you by email and includes:
