Immersive Reader issues for Canvas Content PAges
It has come to our attention that the Microsoft Immersive Reader feature is experiencing some issues and not displaying properly for students.
Canvas is aware of the issue and will be working to correct this feature for the students that rely on the accessibility tool.
