Vivi in an Hour

There's a LOT going on in Vivi. So how can you experience it all in an hour?

Vivi is easy. For you. For your users. For your students. For your budget.

Everything is designed around the low-barrier-to-value, "pick up and go" nature that forward-thinking technology leaders like yourself appreciate.

Emergency Alerts

Day 1: When Crisis Hits, Communication Saves Lives

The Challenge

Sometimes you have to climb ladders and reset things with current emergency communication.

That's not exactly ideal when every second counts.

03 Emergency Alerts 01 Landing Screen

Digital Signage

Day 2: Daily Communication That Builds School Community

The Challenge

Good campus communications serve people and build community. The hardest part isn't the technology.
It's getting everyone to actually use it without groaning about "another new system."

10 Minute Exploration on Digital Signage:

Open Digital Signage feature in your trial
- Explore pre-loaded templates and examples
Add your communication champion to the trial
- Let them bring their designs and materials
- Show them the Canva integration (they'll probably say it's worth "whatever the thing costs")
Create your first campus announcement
Schedule content for different times and locations

Text Announcements

Day 2.5: Instant Communication for Those "Right Now" Moments

The Challenge

"Mark Johnson, please come to the front office. Thank you!" - exactly the kind of message that used to require walking across campus.
When email isn't fast enough and PA systems aren't available.

10 Minute Exploration on Text Alerts:

Access Text Announcements feature in your trial
- Send a quick message to any display instantly
Try pre-filled message templates
- Use ready-made examples or type your own
Send test message to trial displays
Share feature with communication staff
- Ask them about their current process for urgent announcements

Wireless Screen Mirroring (Classroom)

Day 3: Teachers Love Vivi! Making Learning Interactive

The Challenge

Most teachers don't resist new technology because they're afraid of change. They resist it because they're protecting their instructional time.
They focus on student outcomes - not pairing, batteries, logins, and whatever else "unnecessary change" annoys them with.

10 Minute Exploration on Classroom Engagement:

Check out Wireless Screen Mirroring (Classroom) in the trial
- Experience how technology can enhance lessons teachers already love
Add teachers to your trial and share sample activities
- Let them experience rather than forcing them to learn entirely new approaches
Ask them to join Vivi for Teachers community
- https://myvivi.io - Free version for teachers
Try sample classroom activities
- Interactive Geography Exploration
- Collaborative Digital Pictionary

Vivi Central

Day 4: What's In It For You - The IT Perspective

The Challenge

You need to maintain security and support. Users expect things "to just work" yet seem to create their own expensive complications.
Say goodbye to disjointed workflows and context switching.

10 Minute Exploration on Vivi Central:

Log into your Vivi Central workspace
- Navigate through sidebar menu and experience intuitive UX
Add the Vivi app to your devices
- Experience seamless device integration across your campus

Add a Device

Day 5: Add Almost Any Device; Add No Headaches

The Challenge

There's upside to device freedom. Staff likes using familiar devices. You can go with cheaper options and reclaim budget.
But you need to maintain security while users expect things "to just work."

10 Minute Exploration on Device Freedom:

Add the Vivi app to your personal devices
- Test Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, Chromebook compatibility
Experience cross-device compatibility
- Switch between devices seamlessly
Test with different display types
- Interactive flat panels, projectors, standard displays
Show staff familiar device usage
- Let them use what they already know and love
