Tips & Tricks for Using Hopin
- We recommend attending the event using a laptop or desktop computer, as we cannot guarantee it will work flawlessly on mobile.
- Refresh your page right before the event starts and if you have any issues accessing any part of the event.
- For the best Hopin experience, we recommend that you use Chrome or Firefox. Download Google Chrome here.
- When an area (e.g., Stage) is “live” according to the event schedule, the red “LIVE” tag will be shown, indicating to attendees where the action is at the time.
- The “What’s happening now” button in the Reception area allows you to one-click navigate to where the action is.
- Keep track of any announcements and pinned messages from TCSF in the event chat.
- Make sure to check the housekeeping rules per area to make the most out of the interactivity.
- You can send direct messages to an individual at the event via DMs in the People tab or invite someone to join you in a private meeting room, by inviting them to a video call. To send a DM, find the person you wish to chat with in the People tab, click their profile photo, and start your conversation.
- Please use headphones when participating on-screen. This will help eliminate echo and feedback.
- Set up your profile before the event. Be sure that you have created a password for yourself in Hopin so that you can easily log in to an event.
- Check your internet speed. We recommend a minimum of 5mbps download and 2mbps upload. Ideally, we like to see 30mbps download and 10mbps upload or higher for the best quality. Test your speed here.
- Each Session and Expo booth will have a separate chat where you can interact with other participants or ask questions to the hosts at the session you are attending.
