Hi _________ (name of IT Admin)

I’m implementing a new music curriculum this year. It is hosted through the curriculum hosting service Shedthemusic and the instructional videos are on Vimeo. Can you allow the domains vimeo.com and vimeo.player.com and whitelist the Vimeo video IDs from THIS DOCUMENT to our district web filter to allow students to view the content material?

Thank you!

The studio page opens an instance of Soundtrap behind our studio layer. In order for that Soundtrap window to be logged in, it must be logged in on another tab. Some web browsers have a setting that turns off the ability for tabs to communicate with each other, which causes the login issue. Sometimes these settings are on by default. Here is how to temporarily deactivate this for different devices.  

Mobile Safari (iPads)

• Go to Settings on the iPad.

• Scroll down to Safari.

• Turn off Prevent Cross-Site Tracking under Privacy & Security.

Desktop Safari (Macbooks and Mac Desktops)

• Go to the Safari app  on your Mac.

• Choose Safari > Settings, then click Privacy.

• Deselect “Prevent cross-site tracking.”

Google Chrome (Chromebooks, PC Laptops, and Desktops)

• Open Chrome.

• In the upper-right, click the three stacked dots 

• Click Settings.

• Click Privacy and security.

• Click Third-party cookies.

• Click "Allow third-party cookies" and ensure "Send a 'Do Not Track' request" is deactivated.

Alternatively you can add only Shedthemusic and Soundtrap to communicate with each other by addings [*.]shedthemusic.netand [*.]soundtrap.comto the list. 

We recommend using Google Chrome as the browser to access the ELEMENTS curriculum. If you are using a different browser on a PC or Mac, please consider using Chrome. Soundtrap works best with this web browser.
