Brightspace Platform Requirements
For an optimal experience that offers better performance, accessibility, and security, D2L recommends that all users access Brightspace with the latest version of a supported browser.
Tip: By default, most browsers automatically update to the latest version. To ensure you are running the latest browser version, D2L recommends that you set your browser to auto-update.
When new browser versions are released, D2L is committed to performing key application testing to ensure that Brightspace performs as expected.
Brightspace notifies users when their browser needs updating. This appears on both mobile and desktop devices and encourages users to update their browser but does not change the functionality of Brightspace.
