Once you start YaVTT, you will land in a login screen. To log in, enter the IP or the URL of the server you want to connect to. If you do not know it, ask the one who hosts the server.

If you already logged in once, enter your username and password. If this is your first time logging in, do not add any password, just add the username that your admin gave you, and try to log in. YaVTT will then prompt you to add a password. The password must have at least 8 characters.
