ONLINE CONSULTATIONS

Video Calling for Consultations

Add video calling for consultations with Tencent RTC. Connect clients and advisers inside your app while your existing services manage appointments, payments, and follow-up.

APPOINTMENT TO CALL

Start Video Consultations from an Appointment

Start video calling for consultations from an appointment in your app. Your application validates the booking and connects the correct participants, while Call provides the invitation and live conversation between their signed-in accounts.

IN-APP FLOATING WINDOW

Keep the relevant detail within reach.

Keep relevant application details accessible during video calling for consultations. The application supplies those records and controls access, with a clear route back to the full conversation.

ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE

Invite a colleague when the question needs it.

Use supported group calls to include another adviser in video calling for consultations. Your service decides when another adviser may join, and the client can continue the conversation with the additional participant in view.

CALL EVENTS

Return to the next service step.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

Video calling for consultations FAQs

Discuss your project

Can I connect appointments to video calling for consultations?

Yes. Your application can show a call action on a valid appointment and connect the relevant user accounts. Booking validation, availability, time windows and access rules remain in your service. Call provides the communication flow after those checks.

Does video calling for consultations include scheduling and payments?

Scheduling, subscriptions and payment processing belong to your application or existing service providers. You can connect their records to the call entry and respond to call events, but a call ending should not automatically be treated as proof that a service was delivered or paid.

Can video calling for consultations include a second adviser?

Supported group calling lets you invite an additional user to an ongoing conversation. Use the appropriate plan and check your SDK version. Your service must authorize the adviser and determine which client records they may see.

Can clients keep using the app while talking?

A supported in-app floating window allows users to minimize the call while viewing other application content. Enable the feature for the selected platform and test navigation and lifecycle behavior. This does not promise unrestricted video continuation across every app or operating-system state.

Can I use Call for medical consultations?

Medical consultations require a separate review of the clinical workflow, data handling, consent and contractual requirements. Evaluate the specific Tencent RTC services and configuration for your intended use before adopting them in a healthcare product.

How do I add video calling for consultations to an appointment booking flow?

Your scheduling system confirms the appointment and grants access. Connect that event to the documented call flow, with a readiness check and clear join instructions.

What should I test before launching video calling for consultations?

Test camera and microphone permission, invitation expiry, no-answer behavior and reconnects. Payments, appointment reminders and professional records remain your application’s responsibility.
