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
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.
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!
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.
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!!!
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 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
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
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.
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!
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. :)
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 😀
Thank you . Being new to indoor cycling, was overwhelmed by all the apps and couldn’t decide which would be best fit for me. Difficult when you don’t know the content of any of them. Thank you so much for volunteering your time and knowledge!
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.
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.
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!!!
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 🙂
Amazing guide, thank you very much for it! I have seen it in the RUclips 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 :)
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.
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! 👍👍
By far the most comprehensive and easy to get review ive seen! Thank you! I am getting a whole setup soon, and its my first time. Very excited! Keep a lookout for A.Niemi in the coming weeks!
Best vid i have ever seen on getting started. As a new rider all the new tech was confusing as hell for me , but this has certainly cleared up all i needed to know. Much appreciated :)
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 🙏
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.
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.
On two occassions I have hit ride and once the screen loads I am unable to cycle from the start position. The menu botton is in the bottom left screen and I have to close the programme and restart. May be a computer issue. Thank you for all the links to further videos. Philip.
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! 👌🏼
Wow - wonderful organization & attention to detail! I love the way you've structured things topically like chapters or a book or Wikipedia page -- makes it useful as a reference that people can keep coming back to :-)
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
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.
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)?
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???

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!! 🙏
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.
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

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.
A Great into to Zwift - I feel more ready and in the know to tackle it... Thanks SO much!

Beginner here. Very useful and helpful guide. Thank you!

This is a lot of helpful information. Triathlete here and wanted to get the basics. Thank you.

Excellent! Especially helpful! I've been using Z for 2 weeks now. This info will come in handy starting with my very next ride!
Just starting with ZWIFT. Lot's to ingest, but very helpful. Will be coming back to reference. Thx
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 😀

Very helpful and inspiring. I realise that this video is done three years ago - but I still enjoyed it very much. :)
Thank you Great video I am new but I love Zwift It’s fun and the time passes quickly.
Awesome...Will probably have my trainer next week.
I just signed up for zwift and it is a bit overwhelming all the stuff to learn. This video is a great start!
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!
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!
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!
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

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.
Really useful video, thank you for the great content 👍
Excellent Video.
Very thorough video. Thanks!
Great video! You have sold me on Zwift! :)
Very useful thank you for easy explanation.

Well done!!
