Troubleshooting

If you do not see the blue button to record, please try the following:

• Ensure you are using a computer and not a mobile device

• If you are using Google Chrome, when you go to the Video Note screen, look up in the address bar and there should be a small camera icon listed. Click on that and choose the options to enable/allow the camera and microphone to be used on the site. Once enabled, refresh the page and try again.

• Try an alternate web browser to see if that resolves the issue. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari are all compatible with Brightspace.

When you go to upload a file, Brightspace should have a progress bar that will appear as the file is trying to upload. Larger files may take a bit more time to upload, especially if your internet connection is not stable or strong. Once your file has been uploaded successfully, you should see the file name turn into a blue link with a file size and an "X" next to it. From there, you will be able to click Add and submit the file to your assignment.

It is not recommended to submit a Pages (.pages) file due to Brightspace being unable to process this file type. Instead, it is recommended to export your .pages file as a .docx, .pdf, or .txt file type. You can learn how to do this by visiting Apple's Export from Pages, Numbers or Keynote to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and more guide.
