Get Started with Vivipod

What you need to use Vivipod, how to sign up or sign in with email or Google, and where to go next to create your first Space.

Higher-ed educatorsGetting startedAccount setup

You can use Vivipod with an email address or a Google account. Sign in to create a Space for your class or post in one you have joined. The free plan includes recording, Topics, and comments.

What you need

  • A modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari)
  • An email address or a Google account
  • For recording: camera and microphone permission in the browser (students need this too)

You can also try the recorder without an account and download the video. Sign in when you are ready to upload to a Space.

Sign up or sign in

Open vivipod.com/auth. Choose Continue with Google, or enter your email and choose Continue.

Log in or create an account with Google or your email address.

If you use email, Vivipod sends a 6-digit code. Enter it on the verification screen and choose Verify. Use the same steps whether this is your first visit or you already have an account.

Enter the 6-digit code from your inbox to finish signing in.

New accounts get a username derived from your email (for example, alex.morgan@campus.edu becomes @alex_morgan). You can change your display name and profile details later in settings.

After you sign in

Vivipod opens your dashboard. A new account has no Spaces yet. Choose Create Space to add one for your course or community.

Choose Create Space to set up a place for your class's Topics and Posts.

Next: create your first Space

A Space is where Topics and student video posts live. Continue with Create your first Space for the form fields, open vs private access, and what appears after creation.

The tutorial list on this page also covers adding Topics, recording, sharing, and managing your class Space. You can jump to whichever step you need.
