  1. Contact your Wellness Coach or Healthcare Partner if you did not get the link so it can be re-sent to you via email or secure messaging
What can I do to do improve the quality of the virtual connection?
  1. If you live in an area with slow internet, this can really affect the speed of your connection. Here are some basic steps that can improve the overall quality:
    1. Use wired Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi whenever possible. Wi-Fi will work, but you may experience a lag and interference, which can make your video and audio choppy. If you experience a lag or interference while using Wi-Fi, we recommend moving closer to your router. However, wired internet will give you a much smoother, more consistent experience.
    2. Close other programs. If you have several programs running in the background, closing them will almost certainly improve the quality. Also, make sure you are not downloading any large files.
    3. If you are unable to connect, please contact your Wellness Coach or Healthcare Partner as soon as possible to see if I can help you troubleshoot
I struggle with navigating technology; can the SmartWellness program assist me in my struggles to ensure I optimize my time spent with specialists?
  1. A Wellness Coach can help support with troubleshooting and can also provide you with a step-by-step guide that can walk you through getting set up for our online services, prior to initiating a session with your provider.
What if my microphone and video are not working during an online session?
  1. In a Zoom video call, the meeting controls are at the bottom of your screen, where you can turn your video off and on. You can also find additional information on Zoom support on our website.

    1. Desktop computer with a webcam and speakers
    2. Laptop computer with built-in webcam and speakers
    3. Tablet device or smart phone with built-in webcam and speakers
