Troubleshooting
Encountering difficulties in joining the session? Try these solutions based on whether your session is hosted via Zoom, Teams or Multiverse Video Conferencing.
Multiverse Video Conferencing:
Auth0 Login Errors
Ensure you log in using your registered Multiverse credentials. If you are not already logged in to your Multiverse account, you will be prompted to log in. Users can receive an auth0 error if they try to log in with a Google account rather than with their Multiverse account details. If this happens, navigate back to the login page and enter the details you signed up to Multiverse with.
White Screen Issues
