How do I join my online class or lesson from a mobile device?

  • [アーティクル]

Join your private or live online group classes from anywhere!

The online classroom is fully mobile, ready to support your learning goals wherever and whenever you have time to learn by using a compatible mobile browser on your smart phone or tablet!

Notes

  • For the best experience with the online classroom, use the latest version of iOS or Android.

  • While iOS devices are supported for the online classroom, they are more likely to experience technical bugs. As such, we suggest accessing the classroom from a computer whenever possible.

First, make sure your device is compatible

You can use the group classroom on these mobile platforms:

  • Android: Compatible with Android phones and tablets.

    Support is limited to the last four major versions of Android. For example, when a new, major version of Android is released, the Android requirement is the new version and the three most recent versions that precede it.

  • iOS: Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Support is limited to the two most recent major versions of iOS. For example, when a new, major version of iOS is released, the iOS requirement is the new version and the most recent versions that preceded it. The optional Blur my background video effect on iOS requires an operating system of iOS 12 or later, compatible with the following devices: iPhone 7 or later, iPad 2018 (6th generation) or later, and the iPod touch 2019 (7th generation).

If you don't see your teacher in the online classroom

If your teacher has not joined your lesson through the online classroom within the first 5-10 minutes of the class, give the teacher a call to see if they are having trouble connecting. You can find your instructor's contact information in the Welcome Email, as well as, on the Dashboard of your student account. 

We also recommend discussing a backup platform before the first class, just in case you run into technical difficulties that are out of your control. Examples of backups would be Skype, Facetime, or Google Hangouts. 

Most issues can be easily solved by following the troubleshooting steps.
