Last Updated 2 days ago

Student received the following message:

"Alert: The swipe gesture was used or there was an attempt to switch away from LockDown Browser. This event has been reported to your instructor and browser will now close."

We RECOMMEND that you either use a mouse or turn off these gestures temporarily for exam.


Follow the following steps to turn off these gestures:

  1. Close Lockdown Browser. State the reason 'The swipe gesture alert' and saved.
  2. On your device, navigate to the touchpad setting and set everything to 'Nothing' for both three-finger gesture and four-finger gesture.
