Technical Support

Several resources are available if you encounter problems with LockDown Browser:

  • The Windows and Mac versions of LockDown Browser have a "Help Center" button located on the toolbar. Use the "System & Network Check" to troubleshoot issues. If an exam requires you to use a webcam, also run the "Webcam Check" from this area
  • Initiate a "Live Chat" with a Respondus agent for Respondus Monitor
    24/7 "Live Chat" Student Support ---Most technical issues are encountered during the pre-exam “Startup-Sequence” of Respondus Monitor – which is where the webcam/microphone check occurs. There is already a powerful “It’s not working” feature in Respondus Monitor that helps students find the right solution. But if you are unable to solve the issue by the last step, a “Chat now” prompt appears. The live chat functionality can also be accessed through the “Help Center” in Respondus Monitor.
  • Contact the Help Desk via email helpdesk@fgcu.edu or by phone 239-590-1188. Make sure to run the "System & Network Check" and the "Webcam Check" before you contact them. You may have to forward the results of these checks at the time of opening a ticket.
