  • Verify audio permissions are enabled in the settings of your device or browser.

If you're still stuck, please start a chat on the mobile app or web portal.



Video display and black screen issues

What should I do if my provider can’t see me?

  • Ensure camera permissions are enabled on your device.

  • Disable background blur and any active filters.

  • Completely close your app or web portal and then re-enter.


What should I do if I can’t see my provider?

  • Give your provider time to troubleshoot their device settings.

  • Keep an eye out for updates from your provider in the Secure Care Inbox.

  • Start a chat on the mobile app or web portal, and be sure to provide as many details as possible.



Joining and rejoining your appointment

Make sure you’re joining your appointment directly through the Circle Medical mobile app or web portal.

What if I can't join through the mobile app or web portal?

  • If you're unable to join your appointment on the mobile app or web portal, find your booking confirmation email and join from there.

What do I do if my appointment was interrupted?

If your connection is interrupted mid-appointment, try to re-enter from the mobile app or web portal. Check out this quick checklist to fix connection issues.

If your appointment time has passed and you weren't able to rejoin your appointment, start a chat on the mobile app or web portal, and provide details and screenshots to capture your issue, if possible.

  • Please start a chat on the mobile app or web portal to report having issues joining your appointment due to a technical issue.

    • Tip: To help the Care Team troubleshoot your technical issues, try provide specific details and screenshots if possible.


What if my provider is delayed or doesn't join my appointment?
