What equipment do I need to join a session?
You’ll need the below to join a Telehealth (online therapy) session with your provider:
-
A computer, tablet, or phone (no applications or software to download).
-
An external or integrated webcam.
-
An external or integrated microphone.
-
An internet connection with a bandwidth of at least 10 MBPS. We recommend an Ethernet cable over Wifi when possible to ensure you receive the best possible connection through your internet provider. You can check your internet speed here.

Shut down all background applications to ensure Telehealth receives the majority of your internet’s bandwidth, especially applications that use your camera.
