If I try launching the Live Online classroom and my browser does not natively support WebRTC, what can I expect?

Kaplan makes every attempt to make our websites and products mobile- and tablet-friendly. However, not all state-required/regulated products allow for mobile tablets and phones to be used.

• When working on the state-required/regulated course material, you are required to use a Windows- or Mac-based desktop or laptop computer.
• We recommend the use of Windows 10 or 11.
• We recommend the use of current Chrome, Firefox, or Safari browsers. We also support Edge.
