Network Check Results
If you are having trouble accessing Screencastify, one reason could be that your school, district, or anti-virus software is blocking access. A handy way to check whether or not Screencastify is being blocked by your school or district filter is by running this test and ensuring all the domains display a "Passed" value.
If you see the message "Failed" in the network check results section, that could indicate you are being affected by network blocking. Please reach out to your IT department to allow https connections to the domains listed. For detailed instructions, please visit this page.
NOTE: The URLs listed on the test page are not complete. For example; the TLD (Top Level Domain) is missing for all of the .com websites and none include protocol aka https://. Please visit the page above for a full listing of URLs to add to your allow list.
