Your MFT video appointment will be held on Microsoft Teams. Teams is a secure video messaging system and you will not need to create a Teams account to join your appointment.

If you are joining your video call using a smartphone or tablet device then you must have Microsoft Teams installed to attend. Search “Microsoft Teams” in your device’s app store to install the app. Note that desktop/ laptop users will not need to download Teams to join the appointment.

Did you know? By signing up to our app/ patient portal: MyMFT, you can join your video appointments straight from the portal itself and even test your connection before joining.
