- GEHAMS Website - Private Pages accessibility -

This step is necessary so that you can view the members only Private videos, which are on our YouTube channel GEHAMS Model Train Club

1. You will be receiving an email from YouTube which is titled "Invitation to access GEHAMS Model  Train Club",  from   "noreply@youtube. com". Check your SPAM Mail just in case..... 

• Once you open the email ... click the blue box that says "ACCEPT INVITATION". That will probably take you to YouTube. Exit out of YouTube, and....................
• get READY FOR STEP #3? 

• and please read STEP #4 for a explanation and solution to an issue that you might experience...

Go back to the GEHAMS web page at www.gehams.club, and click on the "Members Only Info" in the MENU bar directly under  the blue bar that says "Golden Empire Historical And Modeling Society  is a 501-c3 non profit organization".

1. Then click on Videos & Clinics - pw req 
2. You should then see "  ~~~~~  CLINIC  ~~~~~  " with a grey video boxed below the text with an white arrow with a red border in the center of it.(when you mouse over it, that  is)...
3. Now click on that white arrow with a red border you "should" FINALLY be able to view the private video which is of the clinic that Charlie Slater and Bill Vaughn  presented at the clubhouse, on , on Saturday, September 19.

  And now Step #4 

• this is the issue I warned you about. 

1. To be able to send out the YouTube invite for you to view the  GEHAMS Model  Train Club private videos, your  email must be linked/sync'd to Google, YouTube notifies us if you're  linked/sync'd to it not linked/sync'd.....which we have already found a couple of  members are not...  so you will not receive an invite  from YouTube. 
2. You have to remember that YouTube is owned by Google. Yes,  you can view videos without linking your email to Google---but not the  private videos. You will have to link your email to Google in order to  view the private video link on the GEHAMS Members Only page.      

That'  it.... This has been an "On The Job Training" process and we are learning  as we go forward with this, so there is bound to be some issues. It was  a real learning experience to set up a private video and next time I'll  do something that ain't as painful--like a Covid-19 nasal test or  Colonoscopy!

Q: But can't the videos be posted to the web site itself. 

A: Yes,  they can, but you probably wouldn't want to pay for that option! 

Q: Is there another option?

A: yes the free option to do videos is to go thru Godaddy's requirements
