Joining Using a Desktop Computer or Laptop

Please follow the below instructions when accessing your video appointment using a desktop computer or laptop. Additionally, there is a video included below to demonstrate this.

Please ensure you are signed out of any work or personal Teams accounts before you join your appointment.

 

Open your email and then the message from your service, you can try searching ‘confirmed’ or ‘reminder’. Be sure to check any junk/spam folders if the email is not in your inbox. If your email address is Microsoft based (Outlook, Live, Hotmail etc.) there is an increased likely hood they would be in the junk mail. Ideally please mark as ‘not junk’ so the problem doesn’t persist.
