Browser settings

The four browsers that Brightspace supports are:

  • Microsoft Edge
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Google Chrome
  • Safari

If you do not use one of these four browsers, you may find that some tools or files do not work optimally in Brightspace.

On D2L's (Brightspace Provider) website you can see what is further supported: https://documentation.brightspace.com/EN/brightspace/requirements/all/browser_support.htm

The four browsers have different settings and this can have an impact on your experience of using Brightspace. On this page you can find some different instructions on how to change the settings if you experience problems caused by browsers.
