D2L Technical Requirements
System Requirements
D2L is committed to performing key application testing on new browsers. Due to the frequency of some browser releases, D2L cannot guarantee that each browser version will perform as expected. If you encounter problems with any of the browser versions listed below, contact D2L support, who will give you the best course of action for a resolution. Reported issues are prioritized by supported browsers and then maintenance browsers.
Supported browsers are the latest or most recent browser versions that are tested against new D2L products. Customers can report problems and receive support for issues with supported browsers. For an optimal experience, D2L recommends using supported browsers with D2L products.
You can access Brightspace Learning Environment with retro or legacy browsers (specific older versions of supported browsers); however, D2L does not test Brightspace Learning Environment against these older versions. This means you may encounter unexpected user interface behavior and appearance, or broken and unsupported functionality. In most cases, D2L does not provide technical support or fix software defects experienced in retro and legacy browsers.
D2L does not provide technical support for unsupported browsers.
Note the following:
- Ensure that your browser has JavaScript and Cookies enabled.

- Information related to browser updates is also published on the D2L monthly Updates page.
Users should complete a SYSTEM CHECK to ensure that your system is properly configured.
