This guide will provide you the necessary information to access Mentimeter either as a creator or as a participant. Within the guide you will also be signposted to further resources available within the Mentimeter Help Centre.
Logging in to Mentimeter
To create/access your Mentimeter account under the LSE license, you will always need to log-in with SSO (Single Sign-On).
You can log in via SSO automatically by heading to mentimeter.com/join/lse using your LSE credentials and following the prompts.
Otherwise, you can follow this manual process:
Go to the Mentimeter homepage
Click on the ‘Log in’ button in the upper right corner of the homepage
At the bottom of the login page, click on ‘Log in with SSO’ (indicated below)

Enter ‘lse’ as the company name and click on ‘Log in’
Once you have set up your account through LSE SSO, you should be automatically signed in. If you try to log in through the Mentimeter interface, it will remind you that your account is connected to SSO and prompt you to use this process.
If you have any issues with logging in through SSO, please contact tech.support@lse.ac.uk
