Presenter View shows no speaker notes
- Possible cause: not signed in, or the sign-in expired
- Possible cause: your role is teaching assistant; speaker notes are for instructors and course managers
Resolve: sign in again; if you need speaker notes, ask an admin to adjust your role.
Loading a session says I’m not authorized
You can only view sessions you are assigned to; a session that does not exist and one you are not assigned to show the same message. Ask an admin to check the assignment.
If the problem continues
Contact the platform admin with the message you saw, the page address and the time. Do not include learner data in your message.
