If scheduled video meetings/consultations overlap with other appointments that a host provider or an invited provider currently has, a notification will appear to the person doing the scheduling (host provider or clinic admin).
A maximum of three (3) overlapping video meetings or consultations can be booked into a provider’s SK Virtual Visit schedule.
Step 8 - If scheduling a one-time meeting, you will be provided with the option to 'Get Shareable Video Chat Link' to email to external participants (patient caregivers, other providers from outside your clinic, etc.) being invited to join in. Check the box to email the Join-In Information now OR you may access it later on, closer to the meeting time, from either the 'Schedule' tab or the 'Consultations' tab.
Step 9 - Click 'Schedule Appointment'.
A green indicator will appear at the top of your screen letting you know the meeting has been scheduled, as well as a screen with the appointment details.
If you opted to send the Join-In Information now, the 'Meeting Join-In Information screen will appear.
Choose one of the three options available to send your participant(s) the information:
- 'Copy Invite Link' allows you to choose any email platform. The copied information includes the web URL link ('https...') only and will have to be 'pasted' into the body of the email before being sent.
- 'Copy Invitation' allows you to choose any email platform. The copied information includes the web URL link, Meeting ID and Passcode and will have to be 'pasted' into the body of the email before being sent.
- 'Send Invitation via Email' uses your computer's default email platform to send all 'Join-in Information'. The web URL link, Meeting ID and Passcode will automatically generate into the body of the email along with this message, "To ensure your call goes smoothly, please test your Audio & Video by clicking on the Test Audio and Video button.
