VoiceThread Login

Login to VoiceThread

Logging in to VoiceThread can be accomplished by two different methods:

A. Login from within Canvas (Canvas/VoiceThread LTI)

B. Login outside of Canvas in a web browser: https://uw.voicethread.com (step #7 in the tutorial below)

(Legacy Instructions) Login to VoiceThread from Within Canvas

You can login to VoiceThread from within Canvas by clicking a link that is tied to the Canvas/VoiceThread LTI integration (please view tutorial below). The most common VoiceThread LTI links you will come across are the VoiceThread Home and Course VoiceThreads. Follow one of the options below to log in to VoiceThread from a Canvas course:

1. • Click VoiceThread Home link in the left course navigation menu and you will be taken to your VT Home page. You are now logged into VT and can do anything you like from creating new threads to watching assigned threads in your various courses. This login will stay active until you close your browser.

   • Click Course VoiceThreads link on the course navigation sidebar or module list. You will see a list of VoiceThreads that have been shared with your course.

   • Click on a VoiceThread link which may be set up an assignment

Note: If a course instructor is using Canvas to manage access to the threads for a course, you will need to click on the Course VoiceThreads link in the course to get added to the VT course group that manages access to the course threads. Once you have been added to the course group, permissions will follow you inside and outside of Canvas.

Log in to VoiceThread Outside of Canvas

Point your web browser to https://uw.voicethread.com and you will be redirected to the VoiceThread splash page and login portal, followed UW NetID login screen. After logging in with your NetID you will be redirected back to your VT Home page. You should be able to go back and forth between Canvas and VT and your login credentials should follow you.
