Illuminate - Scanning Assessments - Camera Not Detected

Problem:  
When teachers are attempting to scan assessments using Firefox, a message is received indicating the document camera is not being detected.


Resolution:
An update occurred requiring us to change a plugin setting in Firefox for the Gradcam Plugin.  
  1. Open Firefox.
  2. In the upper right hand corner, click on the three bars.  
  1. Click on Add-ons.


  1. Scroll through the Add-ons page and find the “GCPlugin”.  
  1. On the right hand side of the screen next to the GCPlugin click the down arrow on the button that says “Ask to Activate”.


  1. In the list of options that becomes available, please select “Always Activate”.  
  2. From here, simply close the “Add-ons Manager” tab.
  3. Close your Firefox browser.
  4. Open your Firefox browser.
  5. Log in to Illuminate.
  6. Attempt to scan your assessments.  (Note: It may take a few seconds before you see a picture.”)

If performing these steps does not resolve your issue seeing the camera in Firefox, please submit a technology work order.
