Join a Video Meeting I Am Invited To

Updated

As a patient, family member or caregiver, 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.
  • You may join on a mobile device or a laptop/desktop.
  • To cancel your scheduled video meeting, contact the clinic directly.

The invitation is sent to you by email and includes:

  • meeting title
  • date
  • time
  • meeting link (https://...)
  • meeting ID
  • meeting passcode
  • Option 2:  From the SK Virtual Visit Login screen (no need to login)
  • Option 3:  From the SK Virtual Visit Home screen (after logging into your account)
This article covers three ways to join:

 

Option 1 - Using the Meeting Link Provided in the Email

Step 1:  Using the same device you are using to attend your video meeting, open the email and click the 'https://...' meeting link provided to you.

Step 2 - If using a mobile device and this screen appears, you have the option to Download the SK Virtual Visit app or Continue to Meeting (uses the web).  If you do not see this screen, you may still download the SK Virtual Visit app in your device’s app store, if you wish to.

  • You may test your connection, audio and video equipment and connectivity by clicking Test Your Connection (on web) / Test Audio and Video (on app). The test takes approximately one minute then will provide results.
