Hello,
I have made the login to the webinar, as usual, but this won't start. There is the "succesfully connected"- waiting the organizer" window.
Do I have to close and try to access again?
Thanks
Pierluigi

Feedback instead of logging in to the webinar?Apr 18, 2012

This course did not take place yesterday and has been postponed to today...why do they ask me for feedback now instead of logging me in to the course when I click on my registration link? Does anybody know what to do?

Dear Cornelia,

Please note that, when a webinar is re-scheduled, a new access link is sent out. If you received a new email from GoToWebinar, it included the link for the new session taking place today. In any case, this session has taken place already. I apologize if you could not access this webinar, but more sessions will be scheduled and announced in the future.

Best regards,
Alejandro
