Recommended Browsers

The following browsers and computer system requirements are the ones used by Everbridge to test the functionality of the applications.
- *.everbridge.net
- *.everbridge.eu
Everbridge does not test with any browser version that is currently not supported by the respective vendor.
Everbridge recommends using the most recent versions of the browsers listed below.If you are using a recommended browser and a feature does not work as expected, determine if your browser is current or needs upgrading, or try using a different browser (in its latest version).
Operating System Agnostic: SaaS applications are compatible with any operating system, including macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS12. Whether you’re using a Windows PC, a Mac, or even a smartphone, you can access SaaS applications without worrying about compatibility issues.

Browsers	Computer	Mobile	Known Issues
Google Chrome (Recommended)	PC, Mac	Android, iOS Browser compatibility pertains only to the browsing required for mobile app functionality.	Secure Collaboration Web Client: Use of the video calling feature requires Agora for Chrome

Visual Command Center (VCC) and Peroptics

A high-speed internet connection is required for VCC and Peroptics. In addition, Peroptics requires WebGL.

WebGL

The Peroptics Channel provides a rotating, continually updated display of current alerts, and is optimized for display on the large screens often used in command centers. Peroptics uses the software WebGL (Web Graphics Library) to provide 3D map capabilities in the browser. WebGL is a web standard, but its implementation depends on the individual browser. Note that you should not attempt to display Peroptics through a Remote Desktop Connection.

Verifying that your browser supports WebGL

Chrome

Navigate to 'chrome://gpu' and search for the following settings under Graphics Feature Status:

WebGL: Hardware Accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware Accelerated
Canvas: Hardware Accelerated
Rasterization: Hardware Accelerated

Firefox

Navigate to 'about:support' and check for the following settings in Graphics:

WebGL Renderer: Does not say 'Blocked for your graphics driver version'
WebGL2 Renderer: Does not say 'Blocked for your graphics driver version'
AzureCanvasAccelerated: Does not show '0'

If WebGL is blocked or unsupported

Occasionally your IT team may enable or disable certain drivers in such a way that WebGL no longer runs. In other cases, updating to the latest drivers for your graphics adapter may resolve this problem.

*Touch navigation support varies by tablet/browser. Not all tablets/browsers are supported.

Citrix or VMware, in general, but we recommend evaluating the compatibility of Everbridge 360™ with the specific Virtual Machine (VM) product considering all intended scenarios. Some Everbridge 360™ features may not be available depending on the custom configuration of the thin client environment.
