Canvas - TechConnect Zoom - Error When Connecting Using Firefox or Chrome

Firefox and Chrome settings may affect access to Canvas Zoom classes and recordings.  Browsers are increasing security settings which may prevent the Zoom integration in Canvas from validating user data when launching a Zoom session in Canvas, resulting in an error that the session has expired, content failed to load, or gray boxes. For Firefox and Chrome, users can allow exceptions to allow third-party cookies from Zoom while maintaining their browser security settings. Safari does not allow users to allow exceptions.
