How to Join a Livestream Class
With the purchase of a Full Access Membership, you can take as many livestream classes as you wish every month! That’s right—unlimited. Drop-In Class Cards may also be purchased and applied to livestream classes. See next section on How to Use a Drop-In Class Card.
Follow these steps to join a livestream class:
1. To participate in livestream classes, you will need a Zoom account. If you don’t already have a Zoom account, you can sign up here. A Free Zoom plan is sufficient.
2. In the online studio, go to the Calendar and click on a class event.
3. Register for the class and add it to your calendar.
4. Within 15 minutes before class starts, you may access the class from your Dashboard or the Calendar page. Open the class page and click “Join the Livestream.” Have your Zoom log-in information handy. You will be prompted to sign in to Zoom in order to join the class.
The time before class starts is a great time to connect with Mary and your fellow students. You are welcome to have your camera and microphone on and join the conversation. A variety of topics are discussed and stories are shared by students all over the U.S.
When it is time to start class, Mary will ask everyone to turn off their video and mute their microphone. Mary’s video will be spotlighted and the recording will begin. Only Mary’s video is recorded and saved for future use.
Tips
If you are joining the livestream from a desktop or laptop please use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browsers. If you are using an iPad or iPhone, you must use Safari version 12.1 or newer.
If you have never used Zoom before, it will ask you to download Zoom to your device. Once Zoom is installed, the Zoom window will open and you’ll be able to participate in the livestream.
If you have any issues, see the Troubleshooting section below.
