Rogillioville Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 If we have friends in another room sailing with us, is it theoretically possible to buy 1 - 4 Device Zoom package and us all share it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Yes, no problem with sharing an internet package Rogillioville and JimnKathy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are only 4 of you altogether or only 4 devices will be used, this will work fine. But if there are more than 4 people or more than 4 devices will be used, it can get awkward. We did this on one sailing before, 4 families sharing a 4 device VOOM package, supposedly 1 device per family. But some of us got kicked out of VOOM repeatedly because the children in the families were logging in and out with their devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I log off one of my devices to log into another then it should work out fine, but If I were to not log off and try to log into another device, it would just kick off someone at random (or the one logged in the longest maybe)?

I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogillioville Posted October 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Is it based on the one folio that bought it maybe? so I could share that with the 4 device users and be good to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter who is using the 4 logins, you just can only have 4 devices logged in at a time if you bought the 4-device package.

Yes, the person who purchases the package is the "owner of the code".....and you can share that code-you will make a username and password and it is the same for ALL of the devices anyone logs into. Only 4 devices can be logged on at any time....if someone logs into a 5th device, and there are no "openings" because 4 people are already logged in it will log off the person who was on the internet the longest (call them person #1)-note it does give a warning to the effect "by logging in you will be logging someone else off, do you want to proceed". In theory, if you log off your device as user # 1-4, then you should then be able to log into your other device without logging anyone else off.

AshleyDillo Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yup..4 device package but one login is the way they do it. Once you hit the 5th device one device loses the connection and has to log back in which boots another. Rogillioville 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
