Sometimes patients choose to skip the waiting rooms and get a faster treatment by booking a video appointment with their providers. Here’s how you can set up video appointments with your patients in Avaros:

1. Double-click on an available time slot on your Schedule Dashboard to book an appointment;
2. Enter all the appointment details → select ‘Video’ for the Modality → click ‘CREATE’ when finished;

3. After creating the appointment you will be prompted with the Video Joining Instructions that you can send to the patient via email or text using the two dedicated buttons;

4. When the appointment time comes, just double-click on the appointment to open the 'Appointment Update' window and select the Video Joining Instructions to enter the video call.

5. You will see the appointment time and date as well as your name. Click ‘CONTINUE’ to join the meeting;

6. If this is your first time using Avaros video appointments, you will then be prompted by the browser to allow it to use your Camera and Microphone → Click ‘Allow’. Once you do that, your Camera and Microphone will be enabled and you will be able to join the meeting by clicking the ‘JOIN NOW’ button;

7. Once you’ve joined the meeting you will have the option to chat with the user and also attach certain documents relevant to the appointment. To attach a document to the chat conversation:

• Click on the attach symbol (Next to the ‘SEND’ button);
• Search for the patient;
• Search for the document and click the ‘Send’ button;

8. To add a note to the patient’s eChart:

• Select the 'ECHART' tab;
