Video Appointment Instructions

You may book a video appointment through Terveystalo’s booking. For a video appointment, you need a functional internet connection and a device with a camera, loudspeaker and microphone. Another option is to use separate headphones, a microphone and/or a camera that can be connected to the device. You can test your webcam, microphone and internet connection before your video appointment here.

1. You can easily access your scheduled video appointment via the home page of our website: click on the blue box in the top right-hand corner and select Remote appointments from the list.

2. You will find the appointment you have booked on the page under Video appointments. Log in to view your booking.

3. Video appointments work with the latest versions of web browsers Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

4. Five minutes before the appointment, you will see a Start the appointment button. Click the button to access the virtual waiting room and wait until a professional is ready to see you. The link is available throughout the appointment.

Please wait patiently. Sometimes the previous appointment can be delayed.

5. After the appointment has started, you can write a message in the Write a message field on the bottom of the screen. When the message is ready, select Send to send the message. Select the paper clip icon, if you want to send photos or other attachments.

To start a video chat, the professional sends you a request to start a chat. Select Accept to accept the request.

6. After you have accepted the request, accept the use of camera and microphone by clicking the ribbon menus green. To check or change the default camera, loudspeaker and/or microphone, click the gear icon.

You can change microphone and sound settings also after the video has started. To access the settings, click on the gear icon on the left side.
