Contact VA Video Connect Support

This is the first time using this app. Now before we start, I have the latest iPhone and M1 Mac. Internet speed of 1000 Mbps. I used the link to get into the meeting and it joined the meeting with no video or mic and i could not hear anyone. I opted then to download the app and then amazingly it worked intermittently frustrating connection issues from their side. The facilitator who began the presentation could not be heard from the start, and no one was being heard. They logged in, then out, then back in a number of times until they managed to maintain somewhat of a connection. He was also within the VA Hospital, I can see the office. I, on the other hand, could not hear anything the facilitator was saying. Nor can I understand anything; the presentation video was relaying so choppy and 80% with no sound. This is very frustrating; if we as Veterans are to use this venue for appointments, how can we use this efficiently if the VA has poor connection issues due to being routed through bottleneck network access. I think that the IT department needs to be evaluated and the app in general. Both need to be at par with the demands of Veterans and their experiences with the app. We need quality not quantity from apps.

This app. works as good as my previous doctor at VA. Was this app. designed in a third world country because it functions poorly. Ineptitude is the standard throughout the whole VA system. I worked 13 years for state government and similar less than quality products were created and awards were given to the technicians for simply going live, no one cared how bad the thing worked. The problem is the same in local, state, and federal government, too many people are allowed to sit in positions for too long. They resist change because “we have always done it this way” and those who sit in a position for 30 years have never experienced other employment so industry best practices are never applied. When younger and brighter staff is hired, their input is ignored and shunned so this is the reason this app. doesn’t work correctly and will never work correctly. But like true government, very soon they will switch to an more inferior product happily.

I normally don’t take the time to write a review even after having a bad experience but the customer service for this app is utter garbage. This is why veterans commit suicide but when they ask for help they just get pushed to the side and pawned off on somebody else. Call my cellphone provider to resolve issue that was the response I got. Iphone 12 which is a year old and able to connect with other devices in my house with now issues. Even tried another iphone with same issue. Customer service acting like I’m a idiot that can’t press a button and being told either it’s cellphone or internet provider. This is why veteran hate the VA let’s just pawn it off and somebody else will deal with it or they won’t be around anymore and no worries.
