Using a Mac with LockDown Browser

Enable Pop-ups

The browser needs to be configured to allow pop-ups from “d2l.lonestar.edu”. It is advised to manually input our website instead of allowing from pop-ups.

1. Go to Chrome Settings > Privacy and security > Pop-ups and redirects.
   
   
   
   
2. The text in the option should read "Sites can send pop-ups and use redirects".
