Enabling browser cookies to login and view/create videos.
Written by Glenn Oslin
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.
Can I create videos with Blackboard?
Yes! You are given access to a Student Creator account, so you can record and upload your own videos to VidGrid.

How do I control the VidGrid Recorder while I’m recording?
The Vidgrid Recorder interface changes while recording to allow you to control your display.
- The paintbrush icon lets you draw on your screen.
- The webcam icon, as before, allows you to change between webcam, screen, and a mix of the two.
- The pause button lets you pause recording without ending the recording. Use this to bring new things into frame or change your view without showing the transition. Think of it as in-camera editing.
- The trashcan icon with an X can be used to end and discard the current recording.
- The checkmark ends the recording and brings up a small window to name your new recording before uploading it to VidGrid.
How do I organize files in VidGrid?
You can use folders to keep your files organized.
- Click the Plus Icon next to record and select “New Folder”.
- Type in the name for your folder.
- Click “Add Folder”.
- You can now drag and drop files into this folder to keep them organized.
