How To Set up SSO for Mirror

Available for MirrorTalk users

SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication allows your team members to securely log into the MirrorTalk app or web platform with ease and simplicity. It is possible to both sign in and sign up using SSO. Teachers, coaches, and students use their institutional login and password to access their MirrorTalk accounts. It is a time-saving, convenient, and secure process of logging in and using MirrorTalk solution.

We support all SSO providers which can act as a SAML Identity Provider. To set up SSO please forward this article to your IT department.

Make sure to use SSO sign in at https://mirrortalk.ai/login/sso or in our MirrorTalk app.
