How To Get the Most Out of Your VERGE 20 Experience

FAQs

Will sessions be recorded?

Access to session recordings will be based on pass type: Keynotes Plus pass holders will only get access to keynote session recordings, while All-Access pass holders will be able to access the entire archive — including more than 100 breakout session recordings. If you have a Keynotes Plus pass and would like to upgrade to an All-Access pass, please contact GreenBiz Support. 
Session recordings will be available three weeks after the event ends. We will send you an email with the link to the archive as soon as it's available.

How do I make a Hopin profile?

When you first create a Hopin account, you'll be prompted to fill out your profile information. This account needs to be filled out to join an event.

If you can't finish this process, or run into any errors, close the browser, reopen the browser, and return to https://hopin.to.

Click "My Account."

And go to "Profile" on the lefthand menu.

You can complete your profile information here and can join an event thereafter.

Which browsers work best?

The latest versions of Chrome or Firefox guarantee the best experience. Please avoid any Brave, Safari, and Microsoft IE or Edge since these browsers lack the modern web technologies support necessary for online events to run in a web browser. The common issues Hopin receives from its users are related to an outdated web browser and operating system. Please note that Hopin recommends only the latest version of Chrome and Firefox. For the operating system, Windows 10 updated to the latest available version (for PC) and OS X Catalina or Mojave updated to the latest available version (for Mac). Safari and IE lack the support needed for live video events.

Note: Sometimes, third-party extensions can affect the experience of blocking some of the Hopin interface elements. That’s why we also recommend opening the event in Incognito mode (command+Shift+N on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) on Chrome or Private tab (command+Shift+P for macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P for Windows) on Firefox.

Why am I getting a 500 error or a 404 error?

Whenever you run into a 500 error or 404 error, please try the following troubleshoots:

Check the browser and make sure it is updated

Currently, using the latest versions of Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox on your laptop or computer guarantees the best experience.

Note: Sometimes, third-party extensions can affect the experience by blocking some of the Hopin interface elements. That’s why we also recommend opening the event in Incognito mode (command+Shift+N on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) on Chrome or Private tab (command+Shift+P for macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P for Windows) on Firefox.

Refresh your web browser

Hold Shift key when pressing the command+R (macOS) or Ctrl+R (Windows) combinations

Restart your web browser.

Sometimes browser settings require a browser restart for changes to take effect.

Troubleshooting Guide

If you are having technical issues with the Hopin platform, please try these troubleshooting tips:

  • Internet speed: We recommend a minimum of 5mbps download and 2mbps upload. Ideally, we like to see 30mbps download and 10mbps upload or higher for the best quality. Test your internet speed here.

  • Browser: Make sure you are using Chrome or Firefox and that it is fully up to date. Safari and IE are not fully supported as they lack the support needed for live video events. 

  • Buffering: If there is constant buffering, make sure that your browser is up to date. If it is, flip to compatibility mode. This is an indication that the internet speed is insufficient. If still buffering after going to compatibility mode, switch browsers and go into compatibility mode in that one. 

  • Tabs: Make sure you only have one Hopin tab open. If there is more than one, there will be feedback or sound looping. 

  • Device: We recommend participating on a computer. If you cannot and must use mobile, please use Chrome or Firefox. Please note that Hopin does not work on Safari. Parts on the event may be cut off when you are using a phone, depending on your hardware and operating system.  

If you can't join a session, AV browser permissions can cause these issues. Make sure you've completed the following:

  • Refresh your web browser

  • Check your browser permissions 

Click on the padlock icon next to the URL field and make sure Camera and Microphone are set to Allow for app.hopin.to web page.
