- Read instructions from your provider ahead of time so you can download any necessary mobile apps and fill out any necessary health care history forms in advance.
- Find a quiet, well-lit, and distraction-free area for your visit.
- Make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
- Test your video, audio, and speakers on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
