Common issues with the tool Beekast are understandable and they can be fixed easily. Here is a list of some problems already experienced and how to solve them.
"An error occurred" appears when I try to log in
That means your password is wrong. Try again
I can't log in. My email address is not recognized.
Be sure to check out if there is no mistake in your email address.
Be sure there is no space before or after the email address you entered.
I try to change my password but it's indicated that the email address does not exist.
It means that your account has been created from a social network (Google, Sign with SSO, Facebook, ...) so that you don't have a password to log in to your account.
You must log in through the social network used to create your account.
An "authentication error" appears
Try to log in through the link you've provided with

One of my sessions has disappeared
Beekast's sessions never expire and you control them. That means we cannot delete them ourselves. Only the session's owner can delete their session.
Use the magnifier at the top of the page "My sessions" to search for the session. You can enter the session code or the session title.
- Be sure that your facilitators have not changed/edited the session title.
- If you use several accounts or a public computer, be sure you log in to the right account. To check out the email address, click on your avatar (at the bottom left on the computer/at the top right on mobile), then on "My Account", and on "Username and password".
There are no more sessions in my account
If you use several accounts or a public computer, be sure you are logged in to the right account. To check out the email address, click on your avatar (at the bottom left on the computer/at the top right on mobile), then on "My Account", and on "Username and password".
- This may happen when there is an update. In this case, don't panic and wait a few minutes. Then refresh your browser. The interface will load back your data.
I've added a co-host to my session, but they appear as a participant when they join the session
Go to your settings, then click on Facilitator to check out the email address you've entered.
Be sure the co-host has a Beekast account. The co-host must have an account with a subscription.
- Be sure the co-host logged in through the right account.
- If all these steps are checked, and the role is not added to the account, please go to the Settings>Facilitator. Please, remove the email address and add it again. Refresh your pages. Everything should go back to normal.
I cannot display my session/activity or it is unstable
Please, check out your Internet connection. You can make a speed test through this tool
https://www.speedtest.net/. We recommend 20 Mbits for 100 participants.
Refresh your page and wait for a few seconds
