@mshahin, we are unfortunately not able to offer server access to “free tier” youtube-only participants. All of the commands we are running will work exactly the same way on any installation of QIIME 2 2020.8, though!
Feel free to install on your local computer and follow along!
@Barandouzi, passwords were sent to paid tier workshop participants via Slack direct message. Check slack if you’re one of those participants. If you’re not, a local installation of QIIME 2 2020.8 should work just as well. 
Hi,
I think enabling the chat on Youtube is a great idea! Will promote discussion among the ones following the streaming and make it easier to ask questions and help each other.
Cheers,
Natali
Apologies if this is a duplicate question but is there a detailed programme for the course? I am connecting via the youtube channel and it would be great to know when the sessions that are of most interest for me are scheduled. Thank you!!!
@mpunta, there's a link to the schedule here:
Please note: The schedule is very approximate! In the interest of providing a smooth experience to all participants, individual session start times may be shifted forward or back. Generally, though, we should start and end the day's workshop on time.
Hi Chris,
Is it possible to ask questions to the speakers through the forum?
Where should I write them?
Thanks. Juan DC
Same situation is here!
@farhad1990, I haven’t tried this before, but I think you can just visit the livestream URL during off hours. Let me know if that doesn’t work for you. 
@ju4n_dc, because we have limited instructor bandwidth, we’re focusing primarily on questions from Slack during the workshop. Please feel free to post questions here on the forum, though, and we’ll do our best to answer them or pass them along. Thanks for asking!
A post was split to a new topic: Are there conflicts between QIIME 2 Installed in VirtualBox and the host machine?
Hi guys,
thanks for that amazing first day! Unfortunately I have no access to the livestream video anymore… Will u upload parts of the workshop on your youtube channel?
Hello all thanks for setting up the workshop and trying to accommodate everyone. I know you plan to only have the livestream video during the workshop, but the video is currently set to private. I was behind the stream by a couple hours and it ended suddenly and I have no way of continuing and following along.
Please consider making the video available during this week at least. The messy registration screwed over a lot of people interested!!
I’d also second (third) the suggestion for YT chat, only because it is live/on the same page as the video and would be more immediate feedback between streamers than using the forum. The community could police each other while you all focus on the workshop and Slack.
Hi @rinne_sharingan! Yes, we are planning on uploading all of this, some time in the first 2 or 3 months of 2021 - watch the forum for more details!
You're welcome!

We can't support that, but you are welcome to set up and support a chat option on the service you prefer. As always, we are happy to answer questions here on the QIIME 2 Forum.
Alright, on that note, any additional questions that come in on this topic thread will not be answered, unless they represent completely new questions that haven't been asked and answered before. We have answered the same 2 or 3 questions many, many times at this point, and we would like to be able to continue to provide support to others here on the QIIME 2 forum, asking other questions outside of this topic thread. If you post a question and don't hear from anyone, then take that as a sign that the answer you seek lies up above in the discussion.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi @ChrisKeefe,
Wondering whether you could make the livestream video until the next day workshop?
Due to the time difference (>12 hours), people from the Asian region, such as China, Singapore, Japan, etc. actually cannot attend the full course. If people could watch the video before the next day workshop, that would be fantastic and people can still catch-up.
Hi @thermokarst, thanks a lot for your kindness and willingness to upload videos. That’s really fantastic. Just wondering whether it is doable to make the livestream video available until the next day’s workshop, so people from Asian region can still catch-up.
The time difference is really a problem. Please if possible make the video available for the next day at least. It is very difficult to catch up in Australia. I tried last night but it was very late.
