Helpful Tips and Tricks for Video Visits

  • Make sure you have a strong and secure Internet or Wi-Fi connection. A 4G or LTE connection works, however you may experience interruptions due to a weak signal.
  • Find a place where you can talk freely and avoid distractions during your video visit.
  • Eliminate all background noises and mute TVs and music.
  • Choose a well-lit area so your care team member can see you. Avoid shaded areas, and don’t sit in front of windows or behind shiny backgrounds as they can reflect light.
