Hi JamKazammers –

Read on for the latest software updates, blog posts, upcoming hosted events, recordings/broadcasts, JamTracks catalog updates, and more.

 

Office Hours
We continue to offer two weekly office hours sessions for anyone who needs help.

  • JamKazam Session Office Hours (Every Tuesday 7-8pm US Central Time)
    If you have our app installed and your gear set up, you can join this JamKazam session as a safe space with a JamKazam support team member to experience and learn how to play in online sessions, or to ask questions about particular features or issues you’re having. To find this session, start the JamKazam app, click the Find Session tile, then click the Open Jams tile, and look for the session called “JamKazam Office Hours”, and click the Join icon on this session.
  • Zoom Office Hours (Every Wednesday 11am-12pm US Central Time)
    If you haven’t set up your gear yet and need help getting started, you can join this Zoom meeting room to ask a JamKazam support team member any questions you have. Don’t be shy, we’re here to help! To join the Zoom, click this link on any Wednesday at the time above.

 

New Features & Fixes
No major new releases this week. Still working on a few biggies. More soon.
