If you access your Vevox dashboard through your Universities' Learning Management System (e.g. Canvas, Blackboard or Moodle) then you won't have standard login details, you will need to use the Authentication Code method to link your Vevox account with PowerPoint. This is applicable for all VLE/LMS or LTI logins.
5. Single Sign-On
If your organization uses Single Sign-On (SSO) to access Vevox then after you enter in your email address you will be automatically directed to your Single Sign On portal. Once you have been authenticated there you will be returned to PowerPoint to select the meeting to connect to.
How to generate an authentication code
Your authentication code can be generated by clicking on the PowerPoint add-in button from your dashboard.
Here you can find out a little more information about the PowerPoint add-in and a link to download the add-in. On the last page of this PowerPoint information guide you can generate your code.
Press the 'generate code' button and then press 'copy'. This will copy the code to your clipboard and you can then paste this into the authentication code box within the login screen in PowerPoint.
