If you have recently gotten access to 360Player, and you wonder what to do when starting out, then this article is for you!

1. Sign in for the first time

We also have a full article on signing in for the first time as a coach or staff member.

2. Complete your personal details

Once you have created your account, it's time to complete your personal details.  We highly recommend that every user who joins your team or organization completes their personal settings and personal details just after signing up and then keeping them updated over time. 

Quickly access your personal details by clicking on your profile picture in the top right hand corner, then pressing 'settings'. On mobile, press the 'menu' button first, then press your profile picture to bring up the option 'edit profile'.

This article: Complete your personal details shows you in depth how to edit all of your personal details.

3. Invite players

Inviting your players to join 360Player is super easy with a group code. Only the team administrators have access to the group code as well as other inviting options. If you have received a group code from an administrator you can share it with your team for players to join. 

Here is a full guide on how to invite players with a group code.

4. Communicate with the team

Once your players have been invited, you're ready to jump into some useful features within the platform. 360Player offers multiple great ways to communicate with other users in your organization. 

Now would be a great time to write a welcome message to the players in your team on the wall since we have just invited them! To create a wall post, press the create button, then press post. For more information on this process, refer to this article for help on creating wall posts. 

Sending messages is also very useful! Create a chat and send a message to the administrator that invited you into the platform or a player who has joined. To chat, simply press the chat icon, then press 'new chat'. See this article for more help with sending messages.
