Technical advice

Security

Video calls are secure. The video and audio communication of the consultation is only visible to participants on the call. The video platform will not take a recording of your consultation. 

Further Support and Information

Video calls are free, except for any internet usage. A video call uses a similar amount of data to a Skype or FaceTime call (roughly 500MB for 20 minutes). We recommend that patients connect to their Wi-Fi to avoid using their mobile data allowance.

  • You will need a smartphone with a working Wi-Fi/3G/4G connection.
  • iPhones operating on old software (iOS 12 and earlier) will need to download the Whereby app to join the consultation
