## What this video covers

This video walks through creating a brand-new organization on [app.up.telestream.com](https://app.up.telestream.com) and joining a **Free Trial**, from account creation to your first login.

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's included in the trial?">
    Every trial comes with **\$100 in usage credits** that can be spent across any usage-based UP application, plus **1 Review Session** and **1 Ingest Seat**. The trial lasts **30 days**, or until the credits run out — whichever comes first. As of August 18th, some Applications on UP are in a Beta Phase, during that phase usage credits are **\$200**
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I only trial once?">
    Yes — one trial per user/email combination.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Billing details matter, even for a trial">
    The organization and personal details you enter during sign-up are used for billing later, if you decide to become a customer, so it's worth getting them right the first time. The account you create becomes the initial owner of the organization — ownership can be transferred to someone else once more users have been added.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when the trial ends?">
    Once the credit or the 30 days is exhausted, usage is paused and the organization is put on hold until an admin upgrades to a paid subscription. Nothing is lost — remaining credits carry over into the paid plan.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Tip>
  You can keep an eye on remaining trial credit and days at any time from **Account Overview** in Organization Settings.
