Before You Begin

• Administrator access: You need permission to manage LTI tools in your LMS and access to the courses used for validation.
• Assigned region: Confirm your institution’s Proctorio region with your Account Manager. Use that region wherever [region-code] appears; see Regional Launch URLs.
• Registration information: Obtain the credentials or registration code listed in your LMS instructions. Send requested registration details to your Account Manager through an approved secure method.
• Browser extension: The extension is not required to install the LTI tool, but is required to validate the installation and use Proctorio tools. Install it from getproctorio.com in Chrome, Edge, Brave, or Opera.
• Existing integrations: Read your LMS migration instructions before installing LTI 1.3 alongside LTI 1.1.

Need assistance? Contact your Proctorio Account Manager or email sales@proctorio.com.

Support and Deprecation Timelines

The legacy server shutdown and the end of Proctorio LTI 1.1 support are separate changes; their impact depends on which endpoint your integration uses.

Date	Change	Impact	Recommended action
November 1, 2026	Support ends for the legacy lti.proctor.io endpoint. Future updates will be available only through regional endpoints.	Non-breaking: Existing integrations continue working but no longer receive updates.	Update your LTI 1.1 integration to use a regional endpoint or migrate to LTI 1.3.
March 1, 2027	Legacy lti.proctor.io servers are shut down.	Breaking: Integrations still using the legacy endpoint stop working.	Complete migration to a regional endpoint or LTI 1.3 before this date.
March 1, 2027	Proctorio ends support for LTI 1.1.	Non-breaking: LTI 1.1 integrations using regional endpoints continue working for the foreseeable future, but are no longer supported.	Plan migration to LTI 1.3 based on your LMS provider's support timeline.

Updating the launch URL moves your LTI 1.1 integration to a regional endpoint; it does not upgrade it to LTI 1.3. The end of Proctorio LTI 1.1 support does not mean regional LTI 1.1 integrations will stop working on March 1, 2027. Continued availability also depends on your LMS provider’s support for LTI 1.1.

Canvas

LTI 1.3

Install LTI 1.3

See Optional Custom Parameters for settings to hide the Live Proctoring launch link or disable strict connection validation.

You need: Root-account administrator access and a unique Proctorio Registration Key (PRK) from your Account Manager for each integration. Each PRK is single-use and expires seven days after it is issued, unless otherwise specified. Using an expired PRK results in an Invalid Setup error. Contact your Account Manager for a new PRK.

Register the App

1. Sign in as a root-account administrator and open Apps > Discover.
2. Search for Proctorio, select its tile, then select Install.
3. Enter your PRK code and select Continue.
4. Configure these registration options, then select Register:

Setting	Configuration
Registration Options
ID Check	Enable if ID verification is required and student names may be passed to the identity verification service. Otherwise, disable.
Live Proctor Launch Link	Enable if your institution has an active Live Proctoring subscription and plans to use the feature. Otherwise, disable.
Strict Connection Validation	Enable for most implementations. Disable only when required for VPN or proxy connections, in coordination with Proctorio.

5. Review the Canvas app settings:

Setting	Configuration
App Settings
Permissions	None required
Data Sharing	None (Anonymized)
Course Navigation	Required
Default to Hidden	Optional; if selected, enable the navigation item in each applicable course
Administration Nickname	Editable; Secure Exam Proctor is the supplied value
Description	Optional
Placement Names — Course Navigation	Secure Exam Proctor — do not change
Tool Icon URL	Keep the supplied value

6. Select Install App. Regional URLs are configured automatically.

Configure Availability

1. Open Apps > Manage, select the Proctorio app, then open Availability and Exceptions.
2. To make the app available throughout the account, select the root account’s Edit button, set it to Available, and select Save. To limit access, use Add Exception to select specific sub-accounts or courses and set them to Available.
3. If needed, Lock the app to prevent users from adding it outside the configured scope through a deployment code or app copy.

The app being On does not make it available. Availability must also be configured; the app is unavailable to sub-accounts and courses by default.

Continue to Add to Course.

Migrate from LTI 1.1

1. Contact your Account Manager for a PRK for each existing integration. Confirm that the new registration will be linked to the existing Proctorio integration.
2. Install LTI 1.3 while keeping LTI 1.1 available during setup.
3. Temporarily disable LTI 1.1 in the test course so that only LTI 1.3 is active in that course.
4. Validate launches, existing assessment settings, and Review Center access.
5. Remove the legacy LTI 1.1 integration after validation and review the affected courses for obsolete navigation entries or links.

Previously configured exam settings, exam data, and recordings remain associated with the existing Proctorio integration.

Migrate from LTI 1.1

1. Coordinate registration and migration with your Account Manager. Confirm that LTI 1.3 will use your existing Proctorio integration.
2. Register and deploy LTI 1.3 while keeping LTI 1.1 available during setup.
3. Temporarily disable LTI 1.1 in the test course so that only LTI 1.3 is active in that course. Validate launches, existing exam settings, and Review Center access.
4. Migrate or replace existing course links using the agreed workflow. Eligible links can migrate during course copy/import, through the course’s Manage Tool Links (Legacy) page, or through supported APIs.
5. After validation, retire LTI 1.1 and review remaining courses for legacy links. Removing an organization-level configuration does not automatically migrate or remove every course link.

Link migration requirements: Confirm deployment sharing, Auto Migrate Links, and domain compatibility before migrating. Where legacy and LTI 1.3 domains differ, coordinate a supported mapping or replacement workflow with Proctorio. Migration does not automatically rewrite URL paths or custom parameters, and migrated links cannot be reverted to LTI 1.1. See D2L’s LTI Migration documentation.

Existing Proctorio settings, exam data, and recordings are retained when the new registration is linked to the existing integration.

Optional Custom Parameters

These optional parameters are available across all supported LMS platforms. Add them to your tool’s custom parameters field when needed; Canvas LTI 1.1 labels this field Custom Fields.

Parameter	Effect
proctorio_live=false	Hides the Live Proctoring launch link. Recommended if your institution does not use Live Proctoring.
strict_connection_validation=false	Disables strict connection validation to allow connections through VPNs or proxies. Not recommended for most implementations.

Keep any required LMS-specific or automatically supplied parameters when adding these optional parameters. If a value is inherited from a higher-level configuration, review that configuration before adding the same parameter again.

Canvas LTI 1.3 dynamic registration also provides Live Proctor Launch Link and Strict Connection Validation options during setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does changing the launch URL upgrade LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3?

No. A regional URL update keeps the existing LTI version. Migrating to LTI 1.3 requires a new registration and your LMS’s migration workflow.

Will migration remove existing exam settings, data, or recordings?

No. These remain available when the new registration is linked to the institution’s existing Proctorio integration. Confirm this association with your Account Manager and validate access during migration.

Can LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 be available at the same time?

Canvas, Brightspace, and Moodle support keeping LTI 1.1 available while LTI 1.3 is configured and tested, but only one version should be active in a course. For Blackboard, use a coordinated maintenance window and remove LTI 1.1 before registering LTI 1.3.

Will existing course links update automatically?

Do not assume they will. Brightspace offers specific migration workflows; Blackboard requires replacement course links. Review Canvas navigation entries and Moodle External Tool activities during migration.

Will Proctorio be unavailable during migration?

Canvas, Brightspace, and Moodle support staged setup and validation. Blackboard requires temporary downtime while the old integration is removed, the new deployment is activated, and course links are replaced.
