As noted in this Known Issue FAQ, recent updates to the Safari web browser are preventing access to LTI content inside any Learning Management System (LMS) including Blackboard. The issue stems from Apple trying to prevent websites from secretly tracking the browsing activity of Safari users. Unfortunately, these updates are preventing third-party tools from functioning properly. Impacted Blackboard integrations include, but are not limited to, Qwickly Attendance, Respondus LockDown Browser, Turning Technologies, VoiceThread, and FlipIt Physics. Please click here for a full list.

At this time, users in courses with LTI integrations will need to use a browser other than Safari to access Blackboard (e.g., use Chrome or Firefox).
