If your school or district is using Clever, you have the option of linking your Classroom Video user account to the account you use for Clever. Linking accounts allows for one-click login access to the platform using the "Log in with Clever" button on all subsequent requests, or by clicking on the Classroom Video app from within your Clever portal.
This is a one-time linking process, and once setup will allow for seamless, one-click access to Classroom Video from your Clever portal or using the Log in with Clever button if you are accessing Classroom Video directly, using the general teacher or student account.
Log in with Clever is an optional, FREE feature that can be disabled at the account level within the admin portal. For more information on Clever, please visit their website.
To enable or disable the feature for your accounts, please consult the admin portal help article: How to Enable the Clever App and Log In Button for your Account.
Assuming this feature is enabled for your account, the below steps outline how to add the Classroom Video Application inside Clever and how to use the login with Clever button. Both options will require you to link a Classroom Video user account to your Clever account.
Option 1: Using the login with Clever Button
If you are already in Classroom Video and not signed in with a personal account, you have the option of using your Clever account to sign in instead.
You will need to be logged in to Classroom Video using the teacher or student general account before proceeding.
Click on the My Classroom Video menu option in the top, right-hand corner of the site.
Click on the Log in with Clever button shown in the screenshot to the right and you will be redirected to the link your account page, shown below.
From this page, you have two options:
- Login with an existing Classroom Video username and password, or
- Create a new Classroom Video username and password (this form will be pre-populated with your Clever account info)
1. Once you have entered your username and password, click on the Link button to complete this process. You will be redirected back to Classroom Video and logged in with the account you entered here.
You can confirm the linking of accounts from within your My Profile page. Click on My Profile from the Welcome menu and scroll to the bottom of this page under Connected Partner Apps. Clever sign-in will be turned ON and your Clever account will be listed to the right of this option.
2. If you don't already have a Classroom Video account, you can click on the "Create one!" link at the bottom of this link page. You will be redirected to the create account page with information from your Clever account pre-populated in all of the fields. You may edit this information or simply click the "Create Account" button. You will be redirected back to Classroom Video and logged in with the account you entered here.
You can confirm the linking of accounts from within your My Profile page. Click on My Profile from the Welcome menu and scroll to the bottom of this page under Connected Partner Apps. Clever sign-in will be turned ON and your Clever account will be listed to the right of this option (see screenshot above).
Option 2: Using the Classroom Video app inside your Clever portal
If your Clever district or school administrator has added the Classroom Video app to your Clever portal, you may complete this same linking process from within Clever.
The account linking process is slightly different coming from Clever the first time in that no create new Classroom Video account option will exist. Currently, we have no way of knowing what Classroom Video account a Clever user should belong under until an existing Classroom Video account is entered.
Similar to above, clicking on the Classroom Video app from within Clever will redirect you to the same Login to link with Clever page shown above, minus option 2.
Once you have entered your username and password, click on the Link button to complete this process. You will be redirected back to Classroom Video and logged in with the account you entered here.
You can confirm the linking of accounts from within your My Profile page. Click on My Profile from the Welcome menu and scroll to the bottom of this page under Connected Partner Apps. Clever sign-in will be turned ON and your Clever account will be listed to the right of this option.
