How to join a Video Call with a waiting patient or client and begin your consultation:
| 1. Sign in to vcc.healthdirect.org.au with your username and password. |
 |
| 2. You will arrive in your Waiting Area dashboard page. Here you will see your patients/clients waiting for, or participating in, a video consultation with your service. |
|
| 3. Locate the patient you want to join and click Join. |
Patient waiting - clinician clicks on Join
|
| 4. If configured in your clinic, a pop-up confirmation box will appear, showing who you are about to join the call with. A host is a service provider with an account and a guest is a patient/client. If the name that comes up is not who you intended to join the call with you can click cancel and join the correct call. If the confirmation box is not configured in your clinic, when you click Join Call your Video Call will begin without the confirmation. |

6. Click the red Hang Up button once you have finished consulting with your patient. To end the call for everyone, click on End call. To leave the call and put your patient on hold in the waiting area for someone else to join, click on Leave call (in calls with more than two participants, if you leave the call it will continue for the other participants). If you have shard resources still active in your call, you will see a warning and can go back and save them if required. |
