      I guess there is an I missing and it’s meant to be televisit as in a long distance session e.g. through teams instead of meeting in the therapists office

          It’s specific to virtual medical appointments. It’s a televised visitation instead of an in-person clinical visit.

          A videocall is for a generic phone call with video.

            Doesn’t “televised” mean broadcasted?

            Not to argue with you, I’m just trying to make sense of this.

          It’s like using the term telemedicine or telehealth instead of doctors visit. It’s just more specific than other established terms like video call or phone call.
