Important:

  • Use your phone.
    You can't accept your invitation on a desktop computer. Use the phone where you'll use the Ambient app.
  • Use your own invitation.
    If you try to accept another person's invitation, when you sign in to the app you'll see a message informing you that you have no access.

To accept your invitation, tap "Create account" in the invitation.

Tip: If tapping "Create account" doesn't work, try copying and pasting the blue link below Create account into your phone's browser.

2. Install the Ambient app
