For best performance, Canvas should be used on the current or first previous major release of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Because it's built using web standards, Canvas runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, or any other device with a modern web browser.


Canvas only requires an operating system that can run the latest compatible web browsers. Your computer operating system should be kept up to date with the latest recommended security updates and upgrades. 


Supported Browsers

Canvas supports the current and first previous major releases of the following browsers:

  • Chrome 98 and 99
  • Firefox 97 and 98 (Extended Releases are not supported*)
  • Edge 98 and 99
  • Respondus Lockdown Browser (supporting the latest system requirements)
  • Safari 14 and 15 (Macintosh only)

You can verify that the browser you are currently using is up to date by using the browser checker tool in the step below.
