Your Docebo Product Updates

Starting with version 92 of Chrome, released on July 20, 2021, the browser prevents iframes from triggering prompts (window.alert, window.confirm, window.prompt) if an iframe comes from a different origin than the top-level page. 

This can cause malfunctions in the execution of some training materials if they make use of the commands mentioned above and are played in lightbox or inline view mode. If you experience malfunctions in your training materials, you can restore the correct functioning in two ways:

– In the training material edit panel (that you reach from the Training Material tab on the Course Management page), change the View Mode option to Fullscreen or Play in New Window 

– Using the temporary enterprise policy SuppressDifferentOriginSubframeDialogs to revert to the behavior before Chrome 92 (this will be possible until Chrome 95 release)
