  • Respondus Lockdown Browser does not work on Chromebooks
  • Most Respondus problems are due to one of the following:
    • Firewall conflicts > turn off the firewall
    • Anti-Virus software conflicts > turn off the anti-virus program
    • Loss of internet connectivity > send teacher a message and try to reconnect and resume exam
  • Other potential issues
    • Give the browser a few seconds to fully load the exam before clicking 'Take the Quiz'. Clicking too soon has been reported as a potential cause of issues
    • Browse to the quiz from the Assignments page, or the Modules page. Sometimes following links in notifications or in the 'To do' section of your Dashboard will fail to send all of the necessary parameters to the Canvas server.

  • Blank screen during exam
    A blank screen indicates that the browser has lost connectivity with your institution's server, and the webpage cannot load into the browser.
    In most cases, you should be able to leave your exam, shut down LockDown Browser, and restore your internet connection. We recommend restarting your computer and moving as close to the router as possible.
    If a freeze has occurred, and you're unable to exit, please reference this article

  • LockDown Browser appears as malware or a virus
    This is a potential problem when installing Respondus Lockdown Browser.
    Security software or an 'anti-malware' program with very high settings might falsely detect LockDown Browsers as malware such as a virus, Trojan or parasite. The security program would block the download or corrupt the LockDown Browser installer.
