How to Set Up Free Microsoft Teams Video Visits (Corrigan‑Radgowski)
Microsoft Teams video visits at Corrigan‑Radgowski are free - one less thing to worry about. Just know that your visit isn't officially scheduled until the facility confirms it. After you submit a request, watch for that confirmation message before counting on the time slot.
You'll need a device that runs Microsoft Teams with working video and audio. A smartphone, laptop, or tablet all work fine. If you haven't used Teams before, test your camera and microphone ahead of time - you don't want to troubleshoot when the visit starts.
Scheduling
- ✓ Use a valid email address when you schedule your video visit.
- ✓ Don’t treat it as scheduled until the facility sends you a confirmation.
- ✓ Watch your email for that confirmation so you don’t miss the final approval.
Figure out who's joining before the visit. Up to three authorized adult visitors can participate, and each one must be listed on the Visit Request Form. If someone isn't on that list, they won't be able to join.
Note: Youth who live in the household don’t count toward the three-adult visitor limit.
All video visits are recorded by facility staff. Treat the call like an official visit and keep your conversation appropriate.
No personal recording: You’re not allowed to record the video visit on your phone, computer, or any other personal device.
Children can join the video visit, but only with a parent or guardian present. There's one exception: a minor can't participate if they're considered a victim or if there's an active protective order involving the incarcerated person.
