VA Video Connect

Video appointments with VA care teams

VA Video Connect is a medical app from the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) that lets Veterans meet with their VA health care team through an Android mobile device. It is suited to patients who have a scheduled video visit and want to connect without travelling to a VA facility.

A practical option for remote care

The app is especially relevant for Veterans who live far from VA health care locations or have limited access to nearby facilities. By supporting video-based appointments, it can reduce the need for some in-person travel while keeping the visit connected to the Veteran’s VA care team.

VA Video Connect is designed for use during health care sessions rather than as a general-purpose medical information app. Its main role is to provide a mobile connection between a Veteran and VA providers when video care is available for that appointment.

Privacy and service details

Sessions use encryption to support a secure and private connection. The app is published by the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and is listed in the Medical category.
