Getting started with Zoom

You can join a video meeting with a phone, laptop or a computer (with a camera attached) in 2 basic steps:

1. Setup: Click the link to install the app on the device you plan to use (there is no need to sign up)

2. Meeting: Click the link that will be sent by email and/or text message to enter the meeting with the doctor.

If the video works on your device (mobile, computer) but sound isn’t working you will also be able to dial in from a separate phone to join the audio while you continue to using your device so you can see the doctor and he can see you.

Click below for specific instructions related to setting up your device. We will also call you before your meeting to help you get started.
