Overview
When you join a Goldcast event, the platform runs the System Check settings to examine your audio settings and internet connection. This helps avoid system issues during the event and provides a seamless experience to all attendees.
Here's what happens when you enter the event by clicking your magic link:
- The Goldcast platform initiates a network check to verify your internet connectivity.
- Once complete, the platform performs an audio check to ensure your speakers or other audio devices are set up correctly.
Once both these checks are complete, you can click the Enter Event button to access the event. If Goldcast notices any issues with your internet connectivity or audio devices, it prompts appropriate recommendations to rectify them.
How to complete the mandatory audio check
Follow these steps to complete the mandatory audio check to access the event:
- Click the Click to test speaker button.
- The Goldcast platform plays a test audio snippet.
- Click Yes if you can hear the audio being played. If you cannot hear the audio, click No and follow the on-screen troubleshooting steps to rectify audio issues.
- Once you have completed the audio check, click the Enter Event button to access the event.
Troubleshooting audio issues
Check your device
- Check if the speakers or headphones are plugged in correctly and are not muted.
- Unplug the device, and then plug it back in. If it's a Bluetooth device, turn it off and turn it on again.

Check audio device permissions

- Check if the browser tab is unmuted.
