Troubleshooting

Office 365 button shows txtSignin

If the button shows txtSignin, this may be because your profile hasn't been assigned a language. To set your language, use the quick language switcher to change the language. You may have to switch to the opposite language and back to select your language of choice.

Alternatively, you can select your language choice from your profile.
1. Click on your profile icon
2. Click on 'Account Settings'
3. Scroll down to 'Locale & Languages'
4. Select your desired language.

For all other issues, please contact Brightspace support.
