Virtual Logistics

Virtual sessions run on your existing platform. No new software for your team to install.

Platform

GoPhish virtual runs on whatever your team already uses:

  • Zoom — preferred; most interactive features available
  • Microsoft Teams — fully supported
  • Google Meet — supported (some features vary)

Specify your platform when booking so we can prepare accordingly.

What We Need From You

  • Co-host or host access — so the facilitator can manage screen share and meeting flow
  • Meeting invite sent to attendees before the session — you send the link to your team, we join as facilitator

If you'd prefer to stay as host, the facilitator can run the entire session through screen share and chat — just flag this when booking.

Tech Check

The facilitator joins 15 minutes early to confirm:

  • Screen share is working and visible to all participants
  • Audio is clear on both ends
  • Co-host permissions are correctly set

Please have one person from your team join for the tech check. Do not leave it to the general attendees — someone who can fix permissions needs to be there.

Participant Setup

  • Camera on is encouraged — it makes the group dynamic work better — but not required
  • Participants join muted by default; the facilitator manages when to open discussion
  • No software to install — just the meeting link you already use

How Answers Work Virtually

In-person, teams discuss and commit to an answer out loud across a table. Virtually, the facilitator uses polls, chat, or platform reactions (e.g. Zoom thumbs up/down) for each scenario. The group interaction still works — it routes through the screen rather than across a room.

The facilitator adapts to what's built into your platform — no extra tools required.

Group Size

Virtual sessions have no hard cap. Sessions have run with 8 people and with 80. Groups over 40 work better with webinar controls in Zoom. Email play@gophishing.ca if your team is over 40 so we can confirm the right setup.

Common Questions

✱What is CAPG?

The Canada-Alberta Productivity Grant reimburses Alberta employers 50% of eligible GoPhish costs (up to $5,000/trainee/year), or 75% (up to $10,000) for a qualifying new hire — capped at $100,000 per employer per year. CAPG recommends applying 30+ days before your session as a buffer; the hard rule is training can't start before your application status shows "Application Received." Afterward, submit your Training Completion form within 30 days or risk losing the reimbursement — CAPG doesn't publish a fixed payout turnaround.

✱What happens during a GoPhish session?

A 75-minute facilitator-led run through 13 real attack scenarios, plus a warm-up trivia game and a debrief with action sheets.
