Browser Recommendations
It is recommended that students install multiple browsers to use as options, as most technical issues in online courses involve computer browser settings.
Computer Browsers:
Desktop Browser Versions | Mobile Browser Versions | |
Chrome | 63+ | 63+ |
Edge | 42+ | 38+ |
Firefox | 57+ | 57+ |
Internet Explorer | Unsupported | Unsupported |
Safari | 12+ (Mac OS only) | With iOS 11+ |
- Google Chrome versions 42+, Mozilla Firefox versions 52+, and Microsoft Edge do not
support NPAPI-type plug-ins. This includes Java plug-ins and many media browser plug-ins.
Blackboard doesn't support these browsers under the following circumstances:
- with embedded media types that need third-party NPAPI plug-ins for viewing
- the multiple-file upload interface located in the Content Collection. These browsers do support the other multiple-file upload interfaces.
