Mentimeter does not currently offer direct integration with Learning Management Systems (LMS) or provide an open API for general data manipulation within its platform. However, Mentimeter can be used with any LMS tool today without a direct integration.

If you want to use Mentimeter in conjunction with any LMS, you can try any of the following methods:

Embed Slides

Mentimeter presentations can be embedded into LMS content as external resources, allowing for interactive sessions to be conducted within the LMS environment. The embed code can be added to any text input field or a specific button titled 'HTML' or '</>'. To copy the Embed slides link of your presentation, simply click the Share button on the top right corner of the editor and click underneath the Slides tab to copy your code:


Students will be able to see the Menti and even move to the next slide in the presentation. This is ideal for sharing the results of a presentation and enabling students to go through the results collected in class later as homework.

If you want your students to participate in the presentation, remember that only one slide can be accessed via embedding. Whichever slide is active is where the students will land when they enter the access code. Students can click through the rest of the slides in the LMS, but only the active slide will appear in the participation view.

Link Sharing

You can also share Mentimeter presentation links directly within LMS course modules, enabling students to access interactive sessions easily, as well as share course content afterward. You can choose to share either the "Link to Results" by clicking the Share button on the top right corner and navigating to underneath the Slide tab or you can simply copy the URL in the browser.

This is also an excellent way for teachers who prepare their Mentimeter sessions in advance to add Mentimeter into the course content. Instead of having to find the right Menti in mentimeter.com, you can simply open it in class via the link you added in the LMS.

Add the Participation link in the LMS

You can also add the Participation link into the LMS as a course element, assignment, or external link. This way, students can simply click on the link to open the Menti participation view. To copy the participation link, click the Share button on the top right corner and click the copy button next to the Participation Link. Kindly note, that you would need to first set the presentation to Survey mode before sharing the link unless you are presenting live in the classroom.

You can use this to make the Menti a home assignment or to collect feedback after class or input prior to a class.
