Video Consultations

Our video communication system is quite robust and is compatible across nearly all devices and browsers.

Features:

● Peer to Peer Video Communication System
● Screen Sharing for both Veterinarian and Client
● Attach Images, Videos, and Documents – Both the expert and user can attach
files during the consultation
● Consultations can be recorded
● Consultation History -If you’ve done previous consultations with the expert, the
consultation summary per meeting is included at the bottom of the consultation view.

Let’s start by walking through the features within the top control bar of the video consultation:

● Charge – If you’re charging for the consultation, this button will be enabled. After you’re finished your consultation, simply press the ‘Charge’ button and it will bill the client and transact the money into your account.
● Open – This button enables your customer to continue communicating with you via the message box within the video consultation view after the consultation has been completed. If you want to disable this ability after the consultation has been completed, press the ‘Open’ button and it will change the button to ‘Locked’. You can ‘unlock’ the consultation at any time by pressing the button again.
● Claimed – This button showcases that the consultation has been ‘claimed’ by an
expert. If the consultation was not claimed, the button would read ‘Available’. If a consultation is available, you can click the ‘Available’ button to claim it.
● Cancel – If you are unable to perform the consultation, you can cancel the consultation by clicking the ‘cancel’ button. Once clicked, it will send a cancellation email to your client and encourage them to re-book another consultation.
● Switch to Phone – In the event that your customer’s video does not work (poor internet connection, poor wifi, etc), you can click ‘Switch to Phone’. This will remove the video controls and replace them with a ‘Start Phone Call’. Once clicked, our system will call your phone (number you provided) and then bridge in your client automatically.
