If you're having trouble viewing stream videos in your Blackboard course on Safari for Mac, it might be because of third-party cookies. You can use an alternate web browser like Chrome, otherwise follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings tab from Safari.
- Go to Privacy Tab and Uncheck Prevent Cross-Site tracking.
- Refresh the page, and the content should be visible. You might be prompted to Login to your Microsoft account.
For iOS mobile devices, Safari and other apps have dedicated settings panels.
- Go into the main Settings panel on the device.
Scroll down to the app you are using and move the slider to allow cross-website tracking. The slider on some apps are "on" to allow tracking, while others when switched to the "on" prevent tracking. Pay close attention to the individual app wording.
