Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

SO you can 'chat' in the companion app (separate app to download and allows you to interact from phone).

Also Discord is Zwift's app of choice and allows voice comms. I use it with the Navy Tri meetups. I mute my mic and the instructions come over that and we have a chat. Works well.

I like the ride leader instructions coming up on the screen - not sure how that happens but the Cycling club do their sessions with that.

Private chat may come soon but I think even in new private meetup (where everyone else is invisible) there's still spillover chat.

You can also text people - zwift insider will have a great bit on it I guess.

Ta, I was too caught up in getting things working and laptops crashing that I missed all that. Will have a proper look!

Another new sign up to Zwift here. Slowly transitioning from clueless to semi-clueless. It’s peeked my interest enough to subscribe but I can’t get over what a sweat fest it is.

Our bike club was using Discord - works well. I've been part of the Discord banter when we do a no-drop Sunday ride (leader gets it set up so that the group is kept together no matter what speed you are riding, if you fall off the back you get auto-whooshed back to the group).

Since last week they've been using Zoom, but I can't comment as I haven't yet been on a Zoom ride with them. Apparently you get to see folks sweating and dying as well as listening to it....

WhatsApp worked well for me the other night too.
