Users can link their Google account to their AVOD account. When you link accounts, you can use the “Sign in with Google” button on the platform to log in with just one click. This is a one-time option that can be turned off in the admin portal at the account level.
Sign up for Google is a service that you can use for free. Google Apps for Education (GAFE) is a set of core productivity apps that Google gives away for free to schools and other educational organizations. If your school uses these apps, you will be able to use the video platform, Google Apps, and Google Classroom without having to sign in again.
Please read the admin portal help article to find out how to turn on or off the feature for your accounts.
If you don’t want to link your Infobase user account to your Google account, you can check the “Enable Direct Google Login” option in the admin portal at the same time you enable this option.
Assuming that this feature is turned on for your account, the steps below show you how to link your Google account to a platform account, check the status of this link, and break it if you need to.
Linking Your Google Account
There are two places on the platform where you can link your Google account for the first time. Main Login Page
- To link your account, either click the “Sign in with Google” button or set the “You Profile” option to “ON.”
- Who You Are (logged in as a general user or signed in to your personal user account)
**NOTE: If you are already signed into a Google account and you are using Chrome, once you turn on Google in My Profile and click the Save button, you will be automatically connected to that Google account. The steps below will be taken for all other browsers.
All three will take you to the same Google page, which is shown below.
For this link to work, you have to click the Allow button. If you click “Deny,” your Google account won’t be linked, and you’ll have to start over.
After you click “Allow,” you’ll be taken to the login to link with the Google page, which looks like what’s shown below.
You must already have a user account in order to go on. If you don’t already have a personal user account, you can skip this step and log in as a general user, or you can ask your administrator to make you one.
You will be sent to the link account page if any of the following is true:
You don’t have a platform user account with a Google email address that matches, or you don’t have a user account at all.
You have more than one account on a platform with the same Google email address.
