Stream to Students

Stream to Students allows teachers to share what's on their Vivi screen directly to students’ personal devices - perfect for supporting visibility in large classrooms or for students seated farther away.

While viewing the live stream, students can also use interactive features like:

  • Whiteboard

  • Screenshots

  • Annotations

This creates more ways for students to stay engaged and participate in real-time.

Getting Started: IT Admin Setup

To use Stream to Students, IT Admins need to enable these Feature Flags under the Organization → Features tab:

The Presenter Experience

Stream to Students is built directly into the presenter’s normal Vivi workflow—no special steps required.

  • If students have the Classroom Stream Viewer flag, they’ll automatically have access to the stream when it starts.

  • If the Stream to All Students setting is enabled, presenters will see a toggle on the Room screen to activate it for everyone in that room.

The presenter can also view the number of students connected to the stream

The Student Experience

When the feature is enabled, students see a new Classroom Stream tile in their Vivi Room view.

  • They can join the stream once the teacher begins presenting

  • If the stream hasn’t started yet, they’ll see a waiting message

  • Students can go fullscreen, take screenshots, and annotate content in real-time

If Stream to All Students is active, all students in the classroom will automatically have access to this tile:

If the presenter is not actively streaming and a student opens the tile, they will see this overlay.
