Integrate ClassLink with Verkada Guest

Connect ClassLink Roster Server with Verkada Guest for student management

ClassLink is a popular Identity Provider (IdP) used by school admins, teachers, and students. Verkada Guest allows you to sync your student roster information from ClassLink. This allows the use of Student Guest types, which include the following:

• Late arrival (track students who arrive late to school)

• Student pick-up (track when a student is picked up by their parent/guardian)

• Self sign-out (track when a student leaves school early)
