List of Troubleshooting Steps:

Problems Passing the Signal Quality Check:

  • Send your clients this short video to help them properly place their headset.

  • Try connecting the elastic tightener to the headset for improved signal quality. Check out this short article for more details.

  • Make sure the tablet is not plugged into the charger during sessions and that your clients are not sitting close to or touching any source of electricity (i.e., other mobile devices being charged).

  • If your client is still unable to pass the signal quality check, run a demo session and observe the signal. The headset should be adjusted so that all sensors turn green.

  • Remember: the key to passing the signal quality check is to tighten the headset and then remain as still as possible for the next 60 seconds. Repeat these steps after every headset adjustment.

Client Forgot Their Password:

You can reset your client's password in two ways:

  2. From the client’s page of the dashboard, you can click “Generate a new temporary password”, which will then appear on the screen.

In both cases, after the temporary password is generated, the client will be prompted to choose a new permanent password.

  • Try connecting to a different internet connection/mobile hotspot if you are experiencing internet issues.

  • If the game is paused due to too much noise, make sure that you have connected the headset correctly (please refer to this video for more information), and try to sit still throughout the session, with as little movement as possible.
