Allow cookies for LMS URLs in your browser

  • Article

Learning Management Systems (LMS) need third-party browser cookies to complete the LTI 1.3 handshake, according to IMS Global standards. This means your browser settings need to allow third-party cookies for the LMS URL when you're launching an LTI tool.

For more information on Microsoft's LTI capabilities, see Integrating Microsoft products with your Learning Management System.

Here are the steps to allow the cookies in your browser.
