Nothing has come up on the companion app? Scratches head?

Thanks for organising Dave. It's realy worth having a headset on as the chat was truly illuminating.
It might be worth the juniors organising a separate one, because it was rolling at around 3 w/kg.

Enjoyed it, but a lot to absorb.
Downloaded Discord 3 times to my iPhone, but just wouldn’t accept a user name & password despite numerous attempts.

Way beyond my IT capabilities, where is the instruction manual.? Dint think my wifi signal in garage is strong enough. Sounded fun but couldn't turn you all off until I turned my mobile off. Stay safe everyone. 😂

Maybe set up an assimilation session to sort technical issues. I only signed up for Discord last night and clicked on the specific chat.

Thanks to all those who managed to join. Was fun.
Sorry to those who had some sort of tech or timing meltdown.
At the moment Zwift won’t you late join group meet-ups like you can with public events so it’s important to login to game in advance of the start time and make sure you hit Join or lets go when the pop up appears in the bottom left hand corner.
Discord seemed to work well for those that had it. I ran it on my ipad with a Bluetooth headset connected.
The Zwift companion app makes joining and finding events much easier.
Dave

For those who are new to Zwift or had some issues, would you like to do a little test event to iron out these issues? Let me know and I can set something up.
Cheers Dave.

Never tried discord on my phone but works really well on a laptop if that's possible!
