How does a student download lockdown browser needed for a quiz when it does not appear in the menu on the Canvas home page?
Hi @LauraDiPietro1,
When Respondus LockDown Browser is used with a Canvas quiz, after the student clicks on the "Take the Quiz" button, the student will be presented with a notice that Respondus LockDown Browser is required and it will include a download link. The message will look something like what is provided below.
The download link will be specific to your institution. If the student is using a Chromebook, they will be directed to the Chrome web store. If the student is using an iPad, a webpage will appear with additional information and a link to download the app from Apple's App Store.
Since the download link is specific to each institution (with the exception of the downloading for a Chromebook or an iPad), some institutions will share the download link with their faculty and students, posting it in a central location for everyone to find.
Does this help you?

Hey @LauraDiPietro1
If the LockDown Browser isn’t showing up in the Canvas menu, there are a couple of things you can try. First, check if your instructor has posted a link or instructions for downloading it somewhere in the course (like in the Announcements or a module).
If it’s not there, you can visit the LockDown Browser download page directly. Just search for “LockDown Browser download” in your browser, and it should take you to the right place where you can download it for your computer.
Let me know if that works or if you need help finding the link!
The font used for students' names in the new speed grader interface has very tight kerning, so it is incredibly difficult (for me, anyway) to read students' names. This is an accessibility issue, and it delays my work. The classic speed grader used a font for students' names with wider kerning — it was easy to read. Can we…
Hello, A few days ago I was accessing my quiz logs without an issue. For the past few days, though, suddenly the quiz logs are blank — see screenshot. My institution is looking into this but it's rather time sensitive that I have access to these logs again, so I'm posting here just in case anyone else has experienced this…
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
