You’ll need an account to connect to a Beam. If you’ve received an invitation from a Beam Administrator, you already have an account and you simply need to pick a password.
If you haven’t received an invitation from a Beam owner or administrator yet, ask them to invite you.
In the invitation email you receive, click on the “Activate account” button. At the “Activate account” page we’ll ask you to choose a password. You’ll use this password to sign into the Beam App and any other Beam services in the future. You can also choose to sign in with Google or SSO if your Beam Organization allows these authentication methods. Otherwise, your Beam username is your email address.
If you already had a Beam account and you set a password previously, you’re all set!
