Have you been invited to a Circles Session? Joining is easy, just follow the steps below!
- Make sure you are using a laptop or a PC and one of our supported browsers (Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge). We recommend all participants join from a computer in order to have the full experience but if you are on the go, you can also join from a phone or tablet.
- Open the invitation you have received via email and look for the join link. This link is your way into the CircleSpace™️. In order to keep the privacy of your other circle members, do not share it with other people.
- Copy your join link into the address field of your browser. To do so, right-click on the link and select ‘Copy Link Address.’
- Next, open your browser. Right click into the address field and select ‘Paste’ and press enter/return.
- If your link is a personal link you will be taken directly to the greenroom where you can select your camera and microphone choices before entering the CircleSpace. If the join link is not personal, you will be taken to an additional page where you’ll type your name into the search bar prior to entering the greenroom.
After typing/selecting your name:
- Select ‘allow’ in any pop-up window, so your video and your microphone are connected to the room.
- Make sure you turn off your VPN.
- Check whether your camera and audio work in the preview: Do you see yourself? When you speak, can you see the microphone bar move? Are there check marks next to both the microphone and camera choices?
- If you want to select a different camera or mic, click on the according drop-down.
6. When you are all set, click ‘Join Session‘ to enter the CircleSpace™️.
It’s that easy!
If you are experiencing problems, please make sure that you are following all the above steps. If you are still having trouble joining the room, you can contact us by phone or live chat from the greenroom screen.

As part of the release of our new agenda management system, we’ve made some updates to make agenda storage and movement easier than ever. In the My Circles dashboard you’ll still be able to make copies of agendas, but you can now also move agendas between circles and organizations and even link an agenda to a different location.
Moving an agenda simply means taking it from one location and transferring it to another so that it will only be visible there.
- Select the agenda you wish to move and click the ‘Move’ button on the bottom right.
- Next you’ll be asked to choose the circle or organization you’d like to move the agenda to in the drop down menus that appear. You can also move agendas into your personal folder if you don’t want it to be available to anyone else.
- Navigate to where you want to store the agenda and click, at which point the agenda will move to that new location.
The ability to link agendas is a brand new feature we’ve brought out that allows you to share an agenda in a number of places. Importantly, any edits you make to the original copy will carry over to the linked versions, but you cannot edit an agenda from a place where it has been linked to.
- Right click on the agenda you wish to link and select ‘Create a Link..’
- You’ll now need to choose from the menus which circle or organization you’d like to link the agenda to.
- Once you’ve linked the agenda in another circle or organization you’ll see it there with a small ‘Link’ icon. You will also see a message letting you know that if you edit this linked version, a copy of the original will be made.
With this new release, you can still make a copy of an agenda if you wish to make edits to a new version while still retaining the original.
- Click the agenda you wish to copy, and select ‘Copy’ in the bottom right corner. You can also right click and select ‘Make a Copy’ from the menu that appears.
- Now it’s time to give your copied agenda a name, and hit ‘OK’ once you’re done.
- Your copied agenda will now appear in the list.
