I have an issue on my phone or tablet accessing or using the event site

The event site is not supported on mobile devices. Please use Google Chrome on a computer.

 

I did not receive the login email OR cannot login to the event site

  • Send a password reset email to yourself:
    1. Visit the event site’s login page. Contact the event staff if you don't know it.
    2. Click Forgot Password and follow the steps.
  • Verify you registered with the correct email address.

  • Reminder, the email address you registered with is your username.

 

I cannot open the event site. My browser says Your Connection is not private or This site is blocked due to [reason]

    1. Open Chrome.
    2. Click the 3 vertical dots icon in the top right.
    3. Click Update Google Chrome. If you don’t see this button, you're on the latest version.
    4. Close and reopen Chrome.

 

The Zoom audio is choppy


  • Leave and rejoin the Zoom meeting.
  • Close and reopen Chrome. 

  • Ensure you have a strong internet connection. 

    • Move your computer closer to your wireless router or access point.
    • Connect your computer to a hard-wired internet connection.
  • Close all Chrome tabs besides the event site (and this help article).
  • Close all computer applications besides Chrome. 

  • Connect a laptop to a hard-wired power supply.

    Zoom meetings/webinars embedded on the event site can be process intensive on some computers depending on their age, processing power & available system memory. If you complete the above steps and continue to have this issue, contact event staff for direct access to the meeting using the standalone Zoom application.

 

I cannot hear Zoom audio

  • Ensure you clicked the Join Audio by Computer button when first joining the Zoom meeting. If you don’t see this button, click Join Audio in the bottom left corner of Zoom to show it again.
  • If audio is joined by computer, click the up arrow icon ^ in the bottom left corner of Zoom next to the microphone icon. Ensure the correct speaker is selected. If still no Zoom audio, ensure other computer sounds can play from the selected speaker. If not, try selecting a different speaker in Zoom or adjust your computer’s sound settings.
  • Ensure Chrome is allowed access to sound for the site:
