* Please note that there has been a recent software update - you may need to reinstall the Scopia Software*

Note for Windows

Internet Explorer must be installed on your Windows PC when using the SCOPIA Desktop Client, even if you choose to access the meeting with an alternate web browser like Firefox, Safari or Chrome.

Check your internet speed

• Telehealth needs to have a reliable broadband internet connection to work successfully.
• If unsure of your internet speeds, please run an Internet Speed Test, by selecting Begin Test from this website - Ookla Internet Speed Test
• Write down the results and repeat the test at least one more time to ensure that you are getting reliable results.

Compare your results

We do not recommend telehealth consultations when internet speeds are lower than:

• Download: 0.3 Mbps - this affects the quality that you will see of your clinician
• Upload: 0.3 Mbps - this affects the quality that your clinician will see of you.

Please note that if you are connecting using mobile broadband, internet connection speeds vary and often fluctuate significantly at different locations and times of day. It is ideal to test your connection speeds at the proposed time of the appointment and in the location that you intend to be in.

If your results are lower than the recommended speeds, you will need to arrange alternatives in order to participate in a telehealth consultation. This may include having the telehealth consultation:

• At a family member's or friend's house,
• With your GP (if appropriate), or
• At a nearby health facility.
