Enable Team Plans with the Consumer Key and Shared Secret

You can use the LTI App for your team to access the Deluxe Plan tools (screen recorder and video editor) and the additional features provided in the Premier  and Team Education Plans (embedding a video channel, adding a screen recorder button for student assignments, etc.).

If you use SAML for authentication on your Team Plan, you will need to follow the instructions below to add the Key and Secret to your LTI app.  This is required for your users to properly authenticate using the LTI app and gain access to the Premium tools offered with your Team Plan.

In order for a Team Plan user to access the Team features, the admin for the plan will need to configure the LTI App with a private consumer key and secret.

First, login with your Admin account, click your user icon and then Settings.  On the left sidebar, click Integrations.



Make sure the LTI plugin is enabled (click the slider to ON), and find the Key and Secret values in the fields.  Copy each value and we will take these values back to the Schoology configuration screen.  These are unique to the team account, and should not be shared with anyone outside of your team.

FAQ

When launching your team application, why am I unable to use the video editor?

First, check to make sure your team account is upgraded to a a Team Plan.  Access to the video editor is only included within these plans.

If you have a Deluxe or Premier account, check your Schoology app settings (or ask your Schoology Administrator to check/configure) to make sure you have the consumer key and secret added in, as in the instructions above.
