How to join an event I registered for?

I used two email addresses – personal and company emails to register for the event. How can I change my registration into a single email?
There is no way to delete the registered email address. You can select the email address that you want to use and enter the event with the same.
I am getting stuck at the email verification, getting the same code re-sent, and it’s saying “Invalid Code”.
Please ensure you are using the latest verification code received in your email. You can wait for a few minutes and re-try.
I’m trying to join a table, but it’s not joining. There’s no error message, it just won’t connect. There’s a loading screen. I can’t hear anyone either.
