Users are now able to conduct a telehealth session and invite more than one participant. The additional participants will need to be invited to the session once the session has been initiated, and the invitation has been sent to the first participant. There are also some additional options that allow providers to control if the patients can see each other's cameras or even if they can see the names of who else is in the session.
When you are logged in to the Back Office and have invited a patient to a Telehealth Session, you will have a new option that will allow you to 'Invite Participant'.

Click 'Invite Participant'.
Enter the patient's First Name, Last Name and the method you would like to invite them, Cell or Email and click on the corresponding blue 'Invite Patient via' button.
Newly added patients will be nested under the first patient invited.
