  • I did not receive the email to reset my password

    The password reset email will come from noreply@notify.thinkific.com. If you are having any issues with this email, here are a few things to try:

    • If you don't receive the email within a few minutes, check your Spam or Junk folder.

    • If you requested a password reset multiple times, only the most recent reset email will work. Make sure to click the reset link on the most recent email you have received.

    • If you don't remember which email address you used, try all email addresses you might have used to create your account. The reset password email is valid for 6 hours.

    • If you have not reset your password within this period or if you have submitted multiple requests, you will see a reset token failed message when using the password reset link provided in the email. Make sure to reset your email within the 6 hours and use the most recent password email you receive.

    • If you see Error: reset token failed, this usually happens when clicking Forgot my password many times and attempting to use an old link. It can also happen if you click on a link that is over 6 hours old. We recommend clicking Forgot my password one more time and use the most recent email only.

Content and Platform

  • I am having trouble viewing videos

    Here are some basic browser troubleshooting steps that are a great starting point:

    •Clear cache and restart the browser. Also, check if you’re using the newest version of your browser

    •Try a different browser (we recommend Google Chrome)

    •Try watching the videos in Incognito Mode / Private Window (this will rule out an issue with browser extensions)

    •Restart your device (it's a cliche but it works!)

    •If possible, try a different device!

    •Also, if possible, try a different internet connection! School and/or corporate firewalls occasionally block our video provider

  • My video isn't loading and shows a blank screen

    The large majority of video issues are browser-specific. For example: you may have a plugin installed that is blocking our videos or your browser may not support the file type we use. Always try using a different browser or watching the videos in Incognito Mode first.

    Sometimes your network may be blocking our video host. In this case, you may also need to add the following to your safe list:

    *.wistia.com

    fast.wistia.net

    embedwistia-a.akamaihd.net

  • The video loads or is showing a loading icon but won't play

    If the video loads in the player, or loads and then shows a spinning wheel/loading icon, you'll want to check if your device's operating system is fully up-to-date.

    For Windows devices, you can view instructions on how to check for an update here, and for macOS you can view update instructions here.

  • The video loads successfully but it doesn't start from the beginning

    This is likely due to the Course Player saving your progress in a course. Information such as where you left off in a video is saved as a cookie in your web browser.

    Videos not starting from the beginning also often occur when you're accessing a course through multiple accounts on the same computer.

    An easy way to test what's causing this issue is signing into your account and viewing the lesson in Incognito Mode. If your issue gets solved, try browser refresh steps to reset where the video begins in your normal browser window.

  • I lost all the progress I made in a course or training
