Notes: 

• If you're a Teacher that wants to join a school account, send this article to the owner of the account. 

• If your school uses a LMS (Schoology, Canvas, Musicfirst), please make sure to log into your LMS first to populate your Soundtrap account.

This article will guide you through three different ways to add users to your Soundtrap EDU Account:
By sending them an invite link, invite code, or by creating a new user.
