Join from a computer
1. Open your booking confirmation email and select the Join Teams meeting link.

On other web browsers, you'll be shown three choices. For the fastest way to join, select Continue on this web browser.
3. A message may appear asking if it's okay for Teams to use your mic and camera. Select Allow so the other people on the video call can see and hear you.
4. Enter your name and make sure your audio and video are toggled on.
5. When you're ready, hit Join now.
6. Wait until the person conducting your appointment admits you to the meeting.
Note: If no one admits you to the meeting within 15 minutes, you'll be removed from the meeting lobby. If that happens, you can try joining again.
7. When the person conducting your appointment joins, their video appears in the main screen and yours appears in the lower right corner.
8. When your appointment is done, select End call.
You can join your booking appointment on a smart phone or tablet using the Microsoft Teams mobile app.
