3. New! Re-send Appointment Reminder to Patients
For confirmed appointments, VSee Clinic automatically sends these notifications to both provider and patient:
- Appointment confirmation - sent right after the appointment is confirmed.
- Appointment reminder - sent 24 hours (by default) before the actual appointment time.
These notifications are sent via email and/or SMS if the latter is enabled however patients may sometimes miss or lose them due to various reasons (email went to spam or was accidentally deleted).
In this Clinic release, we have added a functionality where providers and admins can manually re-send the appointment reminder to the same patient. To enable this feature for your clinic, please contact help@vsee.com.
The appointment reminder can be resent from the visit record.
The appointment reminder can be resent from the calendar slot.
Build secure video & chat communications right into your own app or website
Looking for an OpenTok alternative or an easy way to integrate video chat into your own application? The VSee Application Programming Interface (API) allows you to easily integrate VSee’s simple, secure video conference and screen share so you can create your own innovative telehealth platform, e-learning portal, or whatever app for mobile, web, and desktop platforms.
For a faster web integration option, get the VSee Clinic. This pre-designed waiting room workflow allows you to embed the waiting room and patient queue as a button right into your website (see image below). How to download microsoft office 2016 for mac.
Individual VSee Clinics embedded into a Provider website
The VSee Web API allows partners to manage their VSee users, check for user presence, as well as send commands to the VSee client to initiate calls, meetings and auto-accept calls from specific users.
VSee requires NO servers and no admin privileges, saving up to 10 times the cost of traditional video conference solutions. VSee is also HIPAA-compliant and supports complex telehealth workflows such as virtual waiting rooms and triage centers.
VSee API is fully supported on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android to provide the best video communication experience.

VSee vs other video conferencing APIs
| Companies | Platforms | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| OpenTok | Browser, iOS, Android | API mainly server implementation |
| Vidyo | PC, Mac, iOS | Versatile API, not fully specified |
| Skype | URI only: Windows 8 apps, browser, Android, iOS | URI does not provide for user management |
| WebRTC | Browser | Still in development as a standard, more complicated to implement |
| VSee | PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android | Rich API, no libraries to integrate to other platforms |
VSee vs Skype
Skype provides 2 types of API. One is a set of APIs similar to the VSee URI and works like a normal web browser link. It allows users to be able to make calls, initiate chats and switch focus to the Skype client.
The other type is the Skype desktop API (discontinued), which allows users to add video calling capabilities or create real-time streaming video devices for their applications from Skype. Learn more.

VSee vs OpenTok
OpenTok requires users to set up their own servers. VSee, on the other hand, has its own client which can be used anytime without installing servers. Thus OpenTok provides 2 sets of API, the server side API and front facing API, for delivering a video conferencing solution.
The bulk of the OpenTok API is the server side API which gives users the ability to design their server infrastructure so they can manage and maintain the video connection between users. Users can create their own user management / authentication system since OpenTok has no notion of user accounts. Learn more.
