Troubleshooting Failed Logins

  • First, confirm with your administrator or lead that your students have accounts with Wayfinder.
  • Ensure your student is on the most up-to-date version of Chrome, or try clearing their cache following these instructions.
  • If the student's camera is not working, try clicking on the setting symbol at the top left of their URL bar. Then, switch the "Camera" setting to "on."
