Instructors can now add an existing Vivipod Space to Canvas Course Navigation or embed it on another website.

Students can use the Space from their course page. Its Topics, Posts, and membership settings stay the same.

Add a Space to Canvas

Open the Space’s Share dialog and choose Canvas. Vivipod generates a configuration URL for adding that Space to Canvas Course Navigation.

The dialog includes the URL, installation steps, and a manual setup option:

The Canvas tab generates a configuration URL and keeps the installation steps beside it.
  1. Open the Canvas course where you want to add the Space.
  2. Go to Settings → Apps → View App Configurations.
  3. Choose + App and select the configuration type By URL.
  4. Paste the configuration URL from Vivipod.
  5. Add the tool, then enable or position it under Settings → Navigation if needed.

When students select the course-navigation item, the Vivipod Space opens inside Canvas. They can sign in and record without leaving the embedded view, or open Vivipod in a full window if needed.

The existing Vivipod Space opens inside Canvas Course Navigation without changing its Topics, membership, or access rules.

Embed a Space on another site

The new Embed tab generates iframe code for blogs, content-management systems, course sites, and other pages that accept embeds.

The iframe asks for camera, microphone, and full-screen permissions so recording works when the host platform allows it. The Space’s existing access and membership rules still apply.

What the Canvas setup includes

This release adds a way to open a Space inside Canvas Course Navigation. It does not:

  • sync Canvas rosters or roles
  • create Spaces or add members automatically
  • create Canvas assignments through deep linking
  • pass grades back or integrate with SpeedGrader and rubrics
  • carry the setup over when a course is copied

This is not a full LTI integration. If you try the Canvas embed, tell us which step you would like Vivipod to handle next. Send feedback to support@vivipod.com.

Canvas administrators may restrict installation by URL or require a review. If your institution requires a different setup, the Share dialog also includes instructions for adding Vivipod as a Redirect Tool.

Try it in your course

Keep modules, grades, and assignments in Canvas. Add a Vivipod Space where students will find the video activity.

Create or choose a Space, open Share, and select Canvas or Embed.
