Browse for Open sessions?

Does JackTrip have any thing like Jamkazams “Search for open sessions” to browse for online studios that are open for others to pop on without being invited?

Hi @johndtomlinson2026, and thanks for your inquiry. Many JackTrippers are asking about Open Sessions, but at this time, one must be invited or invite others to a studio.

This method gives Studio Owners the option to decide who will have access to their studio for any given session and perhaps provides greater satisfaction for all participants.

There are security issues to consider when uninvited players enter a studio, and the responsibility for any unwanted activity is problematic.

That said, if you would like more information on how to create an event or announcement for an open studio where others can request an invitation, please let us know.

Thanks for your participation!

Synthia,

Yes, please could you step me through the options. Would JT radio be helpful?

JackTrip Radio was replaced by the ability to livestream and have the public link posted automatically on the JackTrip homepage for anyone to listen. Also, the latest public recordings are posted on JackTrip.com as well.

I saw that you posted an invitation on the Community Forum, so that’s a great start!

A few more ideas to expand your reach and perhaps entice others to join you:

  1. If you are doing a public livestream, a link to it will be publicly visible on JackTrip.com for all to see without logging in.

  2. All recordings which are marked “Public” will be publicly available on the JackTrip.com for anyone to see without logging in.

There are a couple of ways to get the attention of JackTrip members with the tools on your Studio homepage after logging in, as follows:

  1. On your Studio Homepage, there is a tab on the upper left side for “Events”, where you can create an event. Note that your new event will be made visible to the public on JackTrip.com for anyone to see, not just studio members. This should only be used to create PUBLIC broadcasts.

edited: the “Upload Banner Image” is simply a thumbnail next to your studio name.

  1. If you have email addresses of JackTrippers you would like to invite, you can do so by tapping the “Invite” button in the upper right corner of your Studio Homepage after logging into your account.

I hope this has been helpful. If others have suggestions please feel free to chime in.

If you have questions, feel free to ask anything. And do let us know your progress!

The ability to have open live sessions and more is coming soon (without the need to live stream or mess with invite links). Check out this product update for more info on how to get ready for it.
