  2. Rename the appointment type you want to add a virtual option for to "Appointment Name (in-person)."

" If this is a new appointment type, select + New Appointment and create the in-person version.

  3. Create a new appointment type for the virtual-only option of this same appointment type. We already label virtual-only appointment types on the booking page so no need to include "virtual" in the name. For example, you can just call it "Acute Visit" as shown in the screenshot below.
