Be Prepared Before a Video  HealthE-Visit

Before your video HealthE-Visit, you will need to have Webex downloaded and installed on your device.  We recommend downloading it at least a day in advance.  If you are using an Android or Apple device, you can download the Webex app from the Google Play or App Store.  If you are using a desktop or laptop computer, you will need to download and install the app.

Download Webex (select Webex Meetings)

Note that the of Webex used for virtual appointments is not considered secure.  While we are confident in the privacy of your personal health information, we cannot guarantee that your home network connection will keep your information secure.  

Ensure Your Internet Is Fast Enough For Virtual Video

For a video appointment to work, your internet needs to be fast enough to stream to the video.  As a general rule, if you can stream Netflix or YouTube videos on your phone, computer, or tablet, your internet should be fast enough to use Webex.  

You can check your internet speed using this Comcast tool.  In order to schedule a video HealthE-Visit, your internet speed should be at least 0.5 Mbps (receiving and sending).
