If you are having trouble joining a Focus Session (Power Hour, Deep Dive, or Community-Hosted) or the Drop-In, try these quick steps first.


If your session is browser-based (FLOWNspace):

  1. Refresh your browser and try joining again

  2. Make sure you are signed into your FLOWN account

  3. Check that your browser permissions allow camera and microphone access

  4. Clear your cookies and cache for FLOWN

  5. Try opening FLOWN in an incognito window to rule out browser extensions

  6. If the Drop-In isn't visible on your calendar, access it through the direct link to the Drop-In launchpad.

If your session is Zoom-based:

  1. Confirm you are signed into FLOWN and click “Join session” from the calendar

  2. Ensure you are logged into Zoom with the same email address as your FLOWN account

  3. Make sure Zoom is up to date (update in Zoom settings if needed)

  4. Quit and restart Zoom if you see a blank or loading screen

Other things to check

  • Make sure your internet connection is stable

  • If on a work computer, check that no firewall or VPN is blocking FLOWN or Zoom

  • If you are on a mobile device, try switching to a laptop or desktop
