Hi, I can't open files that is posted on canvas. This is both pdfs and docx documents. It works on my phone and other computers, just not my personal computer. When I try to open the file, it opens, but it's blank.
Hello! My initial thought is that it has to do with your personal computer, and likely your internet browser. Please check out Canvas browser requirements to see if your browser is up to date, or if you potentially have some setting that is messing with things. There will be a section of Is My Browser up to Date? and you will be looking to see if it shows that your browser is up to date and a few different common settings are enabled.
You may also want to consider clearing your cache on the internet browser you are using on your personal device, as this can resolve many issues.
Lastly, if your device does not have Microsoft Word installed you will likely struggle to open .docx files, and the same with Adobe Acrobat with .pdf files, if you are downloading them and trying to open them outside of Canvas.
I'm sorry to hear that! Unfortunately I don't have further advice, so I would recommend you reach out to Canvas Support by emailing support@instructure.com or checking out the guide on how to get help with Canvas. I'm also crossing my fingers that someone else here in the community has a suggestion for you!

When I want to create a recording within an assignment, quiz, or page, the recording window always blocks the text that I want to record. It would be helpful to have a smaller recording window for audio-only recordings or, even better, a window that can be moved where it does not block the text. The way it is now, I have…
