Please Note 
- Accounts created in your LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L/Brightspace, Moodle, etc.) aren't accessible in goreact.com. If you only have an account through your LMS, you will need to create a new one. 
- To access your course, you will need to obtain an email invitation or join link from your instructor, or the owner of the course. If your instructor, or the owner of the course, needs help doing that, they can follow our Inviting Users guide. 
- If your course is accessed through an LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, D2L/Brightspace, Moodle, etc.), you will need to log in there and open the corresponding course and assignment. 
- If you have questions on your access code, please review our Using an Access Code guide.

Are you a new or returning student?

New student

Once you have received a join link or email invitation from your instructor, or the owner of the course, follow these steps to create an account. (If your instructor, or the owner of the course, needs help finding the join link, they can follow this guide: Inviting Users.)

Join Links 
Join links are unique to each course and look something like this:
https://app.goreact.com/join/f99d0cfe-d38d-4b45-9328-4189de86b.

  1. Open the link in your email.
  2. Click "Sign up" at the top right.

  3. Confirm the course name and owner. If these are correct, click Create Account. If they are incorrect, do not proceed with registration. Contact your course owner and ask them for the correct join link. Then return to this guide.

  4. After confirming the course and owner names above, click "Create Account."
  5. Either enter the required information and click "Sign Up," or click the "Google" button to use GoReact with an existing Google account. (Note: If you choose Google at this point, you will always use the Google button to sign in to GoReact.)

  6. You will receive an email confirmation and will then be prompted to enter the verification code found in that email. Enter the code and follow the prompts to finish creating your account.

    Note 
    If you do not receive an email confirmation, check your spam folder - the email may have been filtered there. If it's not there either, you may have entered your email address incorrectly. Try going back in your browser to confirm that you entered the correct address.

  7. If required, select "Pay With Card" or "Enter Access Code." Then, enter your card information or access code and click "Submit." (If your organization has set up a different method of payment or if you have a 5-year plan, then you will be able to access the course immediately.)

That's it! Your account has been created and you are now registered for your course in GoReact. Next up: learn how to record a video in GoReact or how to upload a video.

Returning student

If you have an existing account, the owner of the course/folder can invite you one of two ways:

  • Email invitation - this will be the easiest, since you would be automatically added.
  • Join Link - Once you receive the join link, you'll click it and then login to be added. Make sure you do not create a duplicate account here.

If your instructor/owner needs help inviting you, please have them follow our Inviting Users guide.

Once you log in and see the proper course name on the top left you'll know that you're in the right place!
