When accessing VidGrid through an LMS (Canvas, D2L, Blackboard, Moodle, etc), sometimes a user will get stuck on a login message that says "Click to Continue" when trying to record or view a video. If you click the button and nothing happens, this is because the browser cookies are being blocked. Here are the instructions for each browser to accept third party cookies for vidgrid.com.
