I'm having difficulty logging into VoiceThread
- If you participated or interacted with the 2020 Virtual SRC and used VoiceThread, you may need to create a new account using your NetID email address. Once your new account is created, sign in using your netID email address instead of clicking "Find my institution."
- When logging in, I get the error "You are not a member of this Voicethread license. Please sign in at voicethread.com instead." Return to the login page and click the “Sign in with email” option instead of “Find my institution.”
