Find your workshops and join Zoom sessions

Start with the account you enrolled with

Sign in using the same explainx account you used to enroll. Open your workshops, then select the run you want. A workshop can have several runs, so check the dates as well as the title.

Your run page brings together its schedule and available learning materials. Session links, recordings, feedback, and certificates appear where they are available for your enrollment.

Where do explainx sessions run?

All explainx sessions run on Zoom. Your classes are visible in the explainx dashboard, where you can check the schedule and open the relevant workshop run.

When can I join my class?

The Zoom joining link becomes available in your dashboard five minutes before the scheduled class start time. For a class starting at 6:00 PM, check the dashboard at 5:55 PM. The session can be visible in your schedule before its joining link is available.

1. Sign in with the account you used to enroll.
2. Open your workshop run in the dashboard and find the scheduled class.
3. At five minutes before the start, use its Zoom joining link.
4. If the link has not appeared, refresh the dashboard and check the class date and time zone. If it is still missing within that five-minute window, contact support.

Keep the Zoom link private to your enrolled cohort. Community’s My classrooms page is where you discuss the lessons; launch the live session from your dashboard.

Open your community classroom

1. Open My classrooms in the community app.
2. Find your run under Current or Past classrooms and select Open.
3. Use #general for discussion and #doubts for questions.
4. Use a #day-N channel for a particular session, #prompts for reusable prompts, and #updates for class updates.

The older /workshops shortcut opens an active classroom directly when one is available. Use /classrooms for the full current-and-past list. Recordings and Resources in a classroom’s header return to the workshop dashboard.

Classrooms are limited to eligible enrolled learners and authorized staff. The public Questions area and help article comments are visible outside your cohort.

Use your community home and sidebar

Home greets you with Welcome back and shows your classrooms and communities. Assigned instructors also see their teaching runs, and eligible instructors or admins can create communities. The sidebar replaces the old community switcher: select a classroom or community tile, fold sections, or use Hide sidebar on desktop. On a phone, open the navigation menu or swipe in from the left edge.

Use Home, Questions, and Explore at the top of the sidebar, and Help, Guidelines, and Privacy in its footer. Read classroom navigation, notifications, or profile and username settings for the next step.

A workshop is missing

Check the account used at checkout and whether enrollment finished successfully. A waitlist signup is an expression of interest, not a confirmed seat. If your payment completed but access is missing, contact support with your purchase reference. Avoid paying again while the first payment is being checked.
