There are two possible reasons why you have been locked out and can’t login:

1. You forgot your login credentials – playmeo will permit only two consecutive login attempts before the system locks you out – you may have to wait up to 60 minutes before your next attempt. If you are unsure of your password and wish to avoid this inconvenience, we recommend that you reset your password by clicking this link; or
2. Another user has already logged in to your account – all single-user plans (Monthly and Annual) permit only one user to be actively logged into an account at any one time. If more than one person (in your group) requires access to playmeo’s premium resources at the same time, please consider subscribing to one of our multi-user Enterprise plans.

If all else fails, contact us and we’ll help.

Your first step is to click this link to reset your password.

If your email address is recognised by playmeo, you will receive an email message asking you to click a link which will direct you to a unique page to help you create a new password. If you do not receive this message within 5 minutes, please check your junk mail folder.

If all else fails, contact us and we’ll sort out the problem.

Not really.

It was one of a series of nonsensical words Mark Collard (founder) considered when he was looking for a name for his new online platform of resources. It had to be less than 10 characters long (it is seven) to form a short domain name, and it had to include or feature the word ‘play.’ The word playmeo happened to be available.

For a while, the seven letters of playmeo were turned into a clever acronym (which was soon forgotten) – but it still didn’t mean anything.

Yes.

Leveraging its hand-picked network of experienced group facilitators, playmeo can design and deliver a variety of professional development services all over the world – including training workshops, one-on-one coaching and keynote speaking engagements.

In the past few years, we have delivered many remarkably fun programs and engaging presentations in the USA, Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, Turkey, Russia, etc.

Contact playmeo today to discuss your unique programming needs.

Yes. Look for the Language button in the top menu bar.

We have integrated a sophisticated language translation module into playmeo to allow as many people as possible to access our extensive resources. Presently, the ten most frequently spoken languages in the world are featured. While the translation is not quite ‘conversational,’ the technology is improving every year.

Happily, all of our video tutorials are accompanied by an unabridged English transcription which can easily be translated when you click the Language button.

With users from 165+ countries around the world, it would be impossible to offer a perfect translation of playmeo’s resources in the native language of everyone.

playmeo utilises a language translation module which produces software-generated translated text drawn from the English (UK) source. While the software gets better and better every year, we acknowledge that the translation does not make sense sometimes and it is certainly not ‘conversational.’

However, we also know that most people prefer to have access to a translation that is mostly correct, rather than have no translation at all.

Thanks for your patience as the technology catches up.

On rare occasions, some users have reported that the multi-language translation function (Language button in top menu bar) does not work for them.

In almost all cases, the best solution is to use a different internet browser (sorry, not all browsers play nicely with playmeo.)

Note, the easiest method to add playmeo on your smart device is to download and install the playmeo app. Visit the FAQ Do you have an app? for more details.

That said, it is possible to add the playmeo icon to the home or front screen your mobile devices. This means that when you click the icon, it will automatically open your favourite web browser and navigate to playmeo.com in a snap (as if it was an app.)

Follow these simple steps to add an icon to your home screen. First, navigate to playmeo’s home page, and then:

• iOS – click the Share button (square with an arrow pointing up and out of it) then select the ‘Add to Home Screen’ option.
• Android – click the Menu button (sometimes, it could be the Page option) then select ‘Add to Home Screen’ option.
