Vivi
Vivi brings classroom instruction, campus communications, and school safety into one platform designed for schools. Teachers can wirelessly share content to classroom displays and stream instruction to student devices. Schools can send targeted text and video announcements to displays, including live video on their internal network, and centrally manage digital signage with scheduled, location-targeted content. Emergency alerts can reach connected displays and staff devices; staff acknowledgment is mandatory and an incident record is auditable. The alert system can connect by API to existing emergency management and mass-notification systems. A classroom can use a Vivi Display Box per display or the software-only Vivi Display App on supported interactive panels. The per-classroom subscription includes hardware, software, updates, support, training, and warranty. Screen-mirroring traffic stays on the local network, while cloud features such as authentication, signage sync, and emergency functions need internet access. Vivi is available on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, Windows, and as an extension. Pricing is on request, with a 30-day trial; there is no free plan.
