Online Meeting Verification

Verifications are available about 5 minutes after the meeting ends. If you get an error, the meeting may be going long. Try a bit later.

You can click the Pathcheck Verification button on the page you found the join link for this meeting.

The quickest way to request verifications for multiple different meetings:

Your screen name you logged into the meeting with is the one to put on your verification. If you’re logging in with a screen name you don’t like, go into your Zoom app or zoom.com profile settings and change your Display name.

If you haven’t signed up for PathCheck you’ll need to create an account with a name, email address, and screen name. The account gives you free access to verifications for the past 7 days.

We Need Convenors: Online and In-Person.

If you are someone with at least 6 months of continuous sobriety, you can become a convenor! Or if you have at least 3 months of continuous sobriety, you can facilitate meetings as a co-convenor! Anyone can help out as co-host. Ask your convenor if you’d like to help out by letting people in and marking off listeners. Here's a list of the roles: https://lifering.org/online-meetings/online-meeting-support-roles/

All roles are highly fulfilling and a great way to add accountability to your recovery plan, while giving back to the recovery community. For more info: https://lifering.org/get-involved-menu/start-a-meeting/

We are always looking for conveners, both online and in-person. You need six months of continuous recovery. If you are interested, please email 'service@lifering.org' or contact your convenor.

LifeRing has several formats to explore. Online Meetings, In-Person Meetings, LOCAL Online Meetings, ePals, and LSRSafe email.
