Challenge & Webinar Help
​

Need help finding your webinar link, joining a session, or accessing VIP? Start here.

Your personal webinar access page contains your Join Zoom button, calendar options, and current access status. Keep that link handy—and private.

Where do I find my webinar link?

Look for your registration emails from VillageLingo and Zoom. Check your spam, junk, and promotions folders if you don’t see them.

Your VillageLingo personal access link opens your webinar access page. Your Zoom confirmation email contains your personal Zoom join link.

If neither email arrives, contact us using the email address you registered with.

I signed up, but my access page says my registration is being confirmed. What should I do?

Your registration and Zoom access may still be processing. Leave the page open; it checks for updates automatically.

If calendar buttons are available, you can save the sessions while your Zoom link is being prepared. If the page stays pending, contact support rather than repeatedly submitting the signup form.

Do I need a VillageLingo account to join the webinar?

You can use your personal webinar access link without signing in to VillageLingo.

The VillageLingo learning app is separate. Follow your enrollment instructions to access lessons and other app features.

Do I need to sign in to Zoom?

Our challenge webinars are configured so attendees and VIPs can join without signing in to a Zoom account.

Always use your personal link. If Zoom unexpectedly asks for an account or says you cannot join, contact support and tell us what the message says.

What time does my session start?

Check your personal access page for the dates, times, and displayed timezone for your challenge.

When you add a session to your calendar, your calendar app normally displays it in its own timezone. If the time looks wrong, check your device and calendar timezone settings.

VIP participants should use the VIP start time, which is 30 minutes before the main session.

How do I add the sessions to my calendar?

Open your personal access page and choose:
- Google Calendar for Google Calendar.
- Apple / Outlook calendar to download a calendar file for Apple Calendar, Outlook, or another compatible app.
Save each session you plan to attend. VIP participants can select VIP calendars to include the early start.

Calendar downloads are snapshots. If a session changes, check your access page and update your calendar. Importing a session again may create a duplicate.

I paid for VIP, but my page still shows regular access. What should I do?

Your payment needs to be verified, and your personal VIP Zoom access must be prepared.

If your page says VIP access is pending, check again after it updates. If you still see regular access or cannot join the early session, contact us with:
- The email address used for registration.
- The email address used at checkout, if different.
- Your challenge name or dates.
- Your order or receipt number, if available.
Please do not purchase again just to try to fix an access problem.

How does the VIP early session work?

VIP starts 30 minutes before the main webinar.

Use your personal VIP join link to enter early, then stay connected for the main session. You do not need to leave and rejoin as a regular attendee.

Zoom may describe your VIP invitation as a “panelist” invitation. While you are not officially a "panelist," you will receive panelist privileges. In other words you'll be able to ask and answer questions and so forth in the VIP session. That is the access used for your early session.

Zoom says the webinar hasn’t started. Is something wrong?

You may have arrived before the host opened the session.

Confirm the date and start time on your personal access page. Regular attendees enter the main webinar; VIP participants use their personal VIP link for early access.

If your scheduled session should already be underway and you still cannot enter, contact support.

My link isn’t working. What can I try?
1. Open the original email and use its link again.
2. Confirm that the link belongs to the challenge you want to attend.
3. Try opening it in your usual web browser instead of an email app’s built-in browser.
4. Check your internet connection and try again.
If the problem continues, tell support the exact error message and whether you are using a phone, tablet, or computer.

Do not post your personal access link publicly or include it in a screenshot.

Can I share my webinar link with someone else?

Please keep your link private. It is connected to your registration and may grant access to your sessions.

Friends should register separately to receive their own access and calendar links.

I joined a previous challenge. Can I use my old link?

Each challenge has its own registration and personal access link. Use the email for the challenge you are attending now.

If you registered for the new challenge but only received an older link, contact support.

My VillageLingo account uses a different email address. Is that a problem?

Your webinar registration and app account can use different email addresses.

To connect them, sign in to VillageLingo, open Schedule, and use Link webinar registration. Paste your personal webinar access-page URL into that field and follow the confirmation steps.

Do not post that link in Village Square or another shared space.

Can I share my webinar link with someone else?

Challenge VIP provides VIP access for the challenge you purchased.

Monthly memberships are separate. Check your purchase confirmation for the plan and access included in your order.

What happens to VIP access after a refund?

Once a refund is verified, that refunded purchase no longer provides VIP access.

If you believe your access was removed incorrectly, or you purchased VIP again and it has not appeared, contact support with your receipt information.

Can I watch a replay or join after the challenge ends?

Replay availability depends on the challenge. If a replay is offered, follow the replay instructions or link provided for that challenge.

Live access and learning access may end at their stated deadlines. Keeping an old email or calendar entry does not extend access.

Will I receive email or text reminders?

Registration and access information arrive by email. Optional reminders depend on the choices you made when signing up and which reminder services are available for your challenge.

Save the sessions to your calendar so you have the dates and times even if a reminder is delayed or missed.
