Seriously... I have watched 20 other videos as a beginner and NONE of them really cover what is needed. This is the best video I have seen. Its complete, and doesn’t dwell on trivial stuff. Thanks
That’s just superb, for beginners and anyone who’s started recently, quick, clear, tells you everything you need to know in a warm accessible style. Best How To Zwift video out there, Thank-You!
I have only come across your videos quite recently and every one so far is away above all others in their field for insight, content, expertise, but above all ease of explanation. I have been on Zwift for over two years, reached level 43 and unlocked the Tron but having watched your video couldn’t believe how little I knew. Fantastic on every level. Thank you so much - please keep producing these gems
THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THIS APP FROM THE BEGINNING. I have went thru 8 videos where they talk about beginning in Zwift, and they share very little info about the different parts or the application.
Hi Sarah. I have been using Zwift for about 6 months now (although currently injured with a torn ligament in my foot!) and I didn't know about most of your tips on this post, especially all the small symbols. I also wasn't aware about the challenge option. So, like you, I have been riding without accruing anything towards the Tron bike! I'll have to change that lol. Anyway, thanks again for another informative video. See you on the next one. :)
Such useful content. That front screen is packed full of info and not knowing what it all meant was bothering me. I’ve picked so much up. Thank you very much. Off to sign up for Everest! Might take a millennium but every ride will now count! 👍👍
Thanks for this video! I’ve got my Suito on order so figure I start getting familiar with this now, then I can get into it at the earliest opportunity. Liked and subscribed! 👌🏼
She said: “They’re a lot of other resources that can do a better job than I can.” As an old rider returning after an almost 20 years hiatus, I watched a boat load of other resources and I call bull her statement bull. This is by far the most comprehensive and easy to follow informative video on one’s interactions with Zwift. Keep it up! Subscribed.
OUTSTANDING! Thank you so much! New to Zwift and hooked. Like button smashed and subscribed. What a great effort. Looking forward to binging your videos.
This is the most informative Zwift instructional video out there...in fact, it may be the most informative instructional video out there. For anything. Period. Thank you!!!
Best video I have seen to date. Has explained many things that other videos haven't. The tip about Everest was the best especially for a beginner on Zwift. Great stuff
Thanks alot for the great works! Done several IM70.3, looking to train for IM. Any recommendation for which channels/similar sharing posts would be much appreciated! Tks
Great video. I continue to say that I'm a little disappointed in the lack of intuitive layout on Zwift. For example, why can't you go into settings without starting a ride? Or my biggest complaint is the difficulty (or lack of) selecting options through Apple TV, but that could be operator error. But I've only been on it for 2 months so I'm still learning. In addition, some of the set up options you show (Training Difficulty, Screen Mode) I don't have. Maybe they've changed since you posted this (18 months ago)?
Thank you so much - this was great. I watched it on the smartTV with my iPad open just watching on Zwift and gave out so many ride ins. I’m definitely going on tonight to try some of the things I’ve learned 😀
This is fantastic! Seems I’m late to the Zwift game being that this vid is 2yrs old but I’m super stoked to join in on the fun finally. As I contemplate my room/equipment set up I’m curious about how you all interact with this system while riding? With the chats and shortcuts etc. if I use this via my pc and wahoo kickr would most also have a cell phone tied in to do typing? Thanks again for the amazing video!!!
Thanks!! After using Zwift for awhile, I still don't understand the orange arcs on the calendar. I finally realized it shows the days I've ridden. But what does the SIZE of the arc show? Some go 1/4 around, others abit larger. Time riding?? If so, what's the meaning here???
Well I finally got my smart trainer and somehow figured how to hook everything up to my laptop. It's sitting in the garage and now I have to find a place for it inside my house. Maybe my first ride will be Thursday.
New subscriber, and going to be joining zwift soon ...you go through this app like a drill Sargent, direct and to the point! ..lol..this is a big help ,you rock, thx 🙂
A really superb guide, however as a newbie the elevation profile is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard. Considering all our bike computers can offer a colour coded view of the route I find it bizarre that Zwift can't put a colour coded route elevation across the bottom of the screen. PS I have a 42 inch tv and can barely see the elevation coming up.
Рік тому+1
The best video for beginners! You've got a subscriber.
Amazing guide, thank you very much for it! I have seen it in the UA-cam suggestions and king of avoided it due to the length... but it is definitely worth it, all the important information well explained! I should have seen it earlier! ;)
Thank you! I pondered whether or not yo split it up into smaller chunks but didn't want to make it a pain to find all the pieces. I wish Zwift would throw an icon next to the videos with chapters to demonstrate that people can skip around a little more for longer tutorial videos.
@@EverythingIsPhotogenic I think it makes sense to have it all in one video, it feels very fluent/didactic as it is and it keeps all together, dividing in chunks would make the total (added) time even longer... I ended up seeing lots of other video chunks, probably took me longer and I learned less than here =P The Timestamps on the video (and in the description) do the job :)
Thank you! I'm a newbie and now things make a lot more sense. Have one question: I (think) I selected the ride I wanted but kept looking for the 'finish'. It never came so I just kept riding... How do I know I"m 'done' with my ride? I simply stopped and exited the game when I was ready to stop. I had gone roughly 3 times the distance of the ride I had selected. Thanks for any assistance.
Hi, great video. I was researching for a friend new to Zwift and I learned a few things also! Question - why do some riders have an orange thumbs up/ride on next to their names? I can’t seem to figure that out.
Thank you. This is extremely helpful and very well done. I've only been Zwifting for a couple of days and there is so much to take in. Your video is helping me feel more part of the Zwift community.
Thanks for this. Once I’ve signed up for an event is there a way to move to the start line by some command vs waiting for the software to put up the Let’s Go or Join Event button? I’ve missed a few races that I’d signed up for because as I was warming up on the default course it never prompted me to join.
Hi, I've seen that a few times. Its a bit of a bug. If you unjoin from companion app and then re-join it will ask both on the companion app and your ride screen to "join now." Not a perfect fix but it works. 🙂
THAT. WAS. FANTASTIC. I have not seen a better organized, or more thorough video on the Zwift interface. And I’ve watched plenty. I thought 40 minutes was going to be a slog, but it just zoomed by. Thank you, so much.
I just started using Zwift following knee surgery. GREAT and informative video! I had been doing the free 7 day trial and didn't know what a lot of items were - until now. Now, to figure out how to interact while I'm riding. I use an AppleTV and that remote is touchy at best.
Your sensors might not actually be picking up and sending a signal. Double check to see if your wheel magnets are aligned, sometimes if they are off, the sensors will connect but they don't know the wheel or crank is moving.
Thanks! This is very helpful. Can you cover the map in the top right corner. I can’t figure out if the altitude profile at the bottom of the map goes right to left or the other way around. Also what do the markers mean? Thanks 🙏
I thank you for you very informative videos. I have just begun the indoor smart training. I was riding 350+ km / wk before surgeries and covid. Now I get to play here and learn this platform. How do you give a RideOn while riding or training? I am looking forwards to watching more of your videos. Thank you Daniel Baximum
Thank you that was a excellent tutorial 👍 wished had watched it before started my Zwift journey 😊 watched few your other videos too. Really excellent high quality very well explained content! Very much appreciated 🙏
Not currently. The user interface is being updated to include that functionality. It was supposed to be out by now but with all the extra traffic from the quurantining, they don't want to launch it in case of unforeseen bugs.
Best video for beginners to Zwift. I know because im a newbie and have searched far and wide for descriptive in depth video on navigating this at times daunting platform. Thanks for putting this video together. Very helpful. I would very much look forward to an even more detailed video in the future.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! There have been some menu changes and refreshes, but I hope this helps you navigate for the most part. I really need to refresh this video!

Totally agree
You put into words a comment I was trying to make
She flows smoothly from topic to topic and just seems like she should have more followers
As a completely new user, I have to agree :) Great intro video. Thanks!
@@CycloneTS1 because she is running on a pc.

Thank you for the generous compliment!! 🙏
New to Zwift and this has to be the most comprehensive video on it and it feels so official/professional
Keep up the good work

A Great into to Zwift - I feel more ready and in the know to tackle it... Thanks SO much!
Very comprehensive and informative. Best Zwift video I have seen covering all aspects of the platform. Thanks
Best video to watch as a beginner. Like many, I've watched loads of beginner videos that just don't do the job this one does!
As a newbie to Zwift (less than a week!) thank you for such a clear, concise, informative video. Such a great help!
Glad it was helpful! 😀
Great video, Sarah! I didn't know about the little lightning bolt icon indicating estimated power. Good to know!
I didn't know the drops were useful to buy equipment! Now I upgraded my bike! Thanks a lot! I'll follow you on Strava!
I spotted my real world bike in your video. S-works venge. I now have a target to shoot for as well as the tron bike.

Totally agree there , no one said anything about that when i bought all my gear and were so called , getting taught how to use this program.
super helpful!
Awesome content, thanks!

Very well explained I just joined zswift this makes it lot easier to understand thank you 👍👩🚒
Super video! I applauded for A$2.00 👏
Excellent video Sarah, big help for a newbee like me :-)

Hi, great video. I was researching for a friend new to Zwift and I learned a few things also! Question - why do some riders have an orange thumbs up/ride on next to their names? I can’t seem to figure that out.
Hi, sometimes if they give you a ride on or go through a banner near you the thumbs up will show up so you can give one back/to them 🙂
Thanks, great video!
Do you know how to ride real locations, like real mountains? I saw people do it, but...how??
Thank you Great video I am new but I love Zwift It’s fun and the time passes quickly.
Excellent Video. Complete and to the point. Thank you!
Thanks, really comprehensive, being a zwift newbie
Thank you. This is extremely helpful and very well done. I've only been Zwifting for a couple of days and there is so much to take in. Your video is helping me feel more part of the Zwift community.
Great video. awesome explanation for me, a beginner.
How'd you get the VC kit? I'm not vegan, but I love Tyler's videos.
You'll need to join one of his 100+1 rides.
Great video, thanks. I may of missed it, but how do I give a 'ride on' to other riders?
Thanks

Absolutely great intro! Thanks.
Yikes....a 40 minute Beginner's Guide. Intimidating.
thnx that was detailed :) Liked subed and followed :)
Thank you. Appreciated.
Excellent video! Thanks from a noob.
my first zwift ride taking place in 30 mins!!!!
brilliant explenation! thank you so much!
So what are the little orange and white thumbs up icons which show up beside riders names once in a while?
need a dum down version. i don't understand - talking way too fast
Oh, very good Infos! Mercie!
what is the neon wheels all about...some riders have them others dont?
Do you prefer your trainer difficulty at the max level?
Great video thank you.
Just got my trainer today (elite suito) anxious to get in there! Great video thank you!
I just started using Zwift following knee surgery. GREAT and informative video! I had been doing the free 7 day trial and didn't know what a lot of items were - until now. Now, to figure out how to interact while I'm riding. I use an AppleTV and that remote is touchy at best.
Pardon my ignorance, but how are you supposed to manipulate all this stuff while you’re riding?
Thank you so so so much for this fantastic video!!
Thank you for this useful explanation 🙏
Just started, sensors recognized and paired (speed, cadence, heart) in iPad but the avatar doesn’t go… what’s wrong ?
Your sensors might not actually be picking up and sending a signal. Double check to see if your wheel magnets are aligned, sometimes if they are off, the sensors will connect but they don't know the wheel or crank is moving.

how do i control ERG mode during a workout?
Very helpful and inspiring. I realise that this video is done three years ago - but I still enjoyed it very much. :)
Wow, great video.. very helpful for beginners like me.. thank you..
Super video - thank you so much
Thanks for posting this video.I'm new to Zwift so it's a steep learning curve & this video is very helpful. Liked & subscribed!
You are awesome at explaining Zwift - Thanks - Subscribed :-)
Can you complete a route and start another one without exit?
Not currently. The user interface is being updated to include that functionality. It was supposed to be out by now but with all the extra traffic from the quurantining, they don't want to launch it in case of unforeseen bugs.
