Note: Other browsers and versions may still work, but we suggest upgrading your browser to the latest versions of one of these if you encounter any issues.

  • Edge

While InterActivities will function at lower resolutions, we recommend a minimum resolution of 1280×720 or higher with browser zoom set to 100%.

Widescreen aspect ratios are optimal as more interactive elements will fit on-screen.

Due to current system limitation when utilizing InterActivities on a touch smart display, please use the built-in annotation functionality. When using InterActivities with a mouse the pencil functions normally.
