Worth having an ANT dongle for running two apps as well. You could do workouts on Wahoo SYSTM or TrainerRoad controlling your trainer via ANT+ whilst using the Bluetooth signal as just a power meter / cadence feed into Zwift.
Does anyone know why an avatar on Zwift would appear to be walking while someone is full on running while on their treadmill? It can be pretty discouraging for slower runners or someone who is just getting into running pushing themselves to only see their avatar going for an evening stroll through Watopia.
for the ant+ dongle, what do we do after we plug it in? i bought it (the one that looks like a usb) and i plugged into my laptop but i still cant find my garmin heart rate monitor on zwift. please help
I’d been having a lot of Ant+ drop outs lately but found hanging the dongle just above my Kickr sensor fixed thing’s but I was then getting my heart rate dropping out if I stood up. The fix was too move the ant dongle up closer to my HR monitor. Tip, I just have my usb extension cable hanging over my rear brake calliper & it’s now perfect 👍
The bluetooth connection on my Bowflex bxt116 seems to be connected to my iphone 13 but I cannot play my Pandora music through the Bowflex speakers. Is this an option? I'm not able to hear anything on the Bowflex speakers. Thanks
Great video on the connection issues, thanks! However, why can't I run the ZC app and follow the map when I am doing a ride following a pace rider? This has occured every time I follow a pace rider. The ZC app will open but will not go to map mode and track the ride. Any other Z ride, not a problem, I love the app it works well apart from this issue. Hope you can help!
I have an issue with my HR monitor showing correct HR when running on Zwift. More often than not my HR shown on Zwift stays fixed on some value it obtained at the start for about 5 minutes into the run. Sometimes it jumps up, sometime it jumps down and then seems get sorted after about 5 minutes of running. I am using a Wahoo Tickr Run connected via ANT+. It is quite annoying and for some reason this never happens when cycling on Zwift. I haven't figured out why this happens yet. Perhaps the sensor is sufficently further from the ANT+ dongle than when I am running. Maybe the batteries are not strong enough to compensate for that additional distance. Although after 5 minutes it does seem to wake up and work properly. And it pairs right away when I start Zwift.
The most frustrating part I usually deal with is the calibration! I get on zwift and it tells Me, I need to tryout Pro cycling or maybe my trainer is setup wrong! Then I got flagged and disqualified

I’ve got some sort of glitch with Zwift I get no sound out of Zwift whatsoever. I can’t find a fix for this. Can you please help?
For those who would like to run on Zwift I strongly recommend the Runn smart treadmill sensor by NPE. Works well. I have it set up to connect via ANT+
Can’t get my Zwift play gears to work on Zwift?
Even after checking and updating if necessary. I often have to unplug and plug in a couple times to get connected.

I feel this, the avatar won’t start running until you hit 5.5mph. Zwift really needs to fix this.
What running machine is in this video?

What about getting Training Peaks workouts on Zwift? Have been having trouble with this one for months!

@gtn How does one get Strava to show the map of your virtual run?

Question: can I use the same clip on the shoe cadence sensor for the run section and the bike section or are they somehow I inherently different?
No matter how fast i ride the avatar barely moves. How can i fix this

Pronunciation: 'Rooter' vs 'Rowter', in my opinion, 'Rowter' wins! Likewise, I prefer 'BOY' as apposed to 'BOOEEE' for BUOY!
Imagine buying a 600 euro trainer and 50 euro ANT dongle. Why don't these trainers have a direct USB link in the first place?
Trying to get this set up with zwift and my kickr core on my phone and its absolute garbage. Losing my mind at how much bullshit this is.
wtf. no mention of wifi direct connection... this video has been a waste of my time
