(It's basically like a regular chatroom, except instead of clicking someone's name to type a message to them, you click the person to start a video or voice call. But if you're a patient in the waiting room, you cannot see other patients who are "waiting" there. Only your provider can see who's there.)
The regular VSee app has no such "waiting room" feature. Your pdoc/therapist has to know your email address in advance, they send a request for you to add them as a "friend," and THEN they can call you and you have to pick up the phone. It requires more setup and isn't as user friendly as the "Clinic" version.
Both apps allow you to disable the video if you want. There are buttons that show up on your phone screen that you can press. For example, here's a screenshot from my phone:

Hey Blue,
I'm trying to come up with the minimum equipment needed to participate in a video call.
There are:: phones, computers, tablets . Oh, what about tablets?
There are some very inexpensive tablets or even Kindle Fire tablets. It's likely the non-kindle tablets are best, I think? (In saying "inexpensive," I do realize you, Beth, are trying to live on an extremely limited budget. I do know how difficult it can be
)
Please forgive my ignorance here, what would one need to use a tablet for video calls? ie: earbuds with a mic?
Thanks, Blue.
