What should I do, if I'm getting the M3U8 error while trying to access a course?

This error usually occurs because the network security settings are blocking the participation tracking software embedded into the program (the tracker which keeps count of how far you've progressed into the video). In most cases, if you encounter this error, you can bypass it by accessing the course using a different internet connection (for example by logging into your CE account on your cellphone). If that is not an option for you or switching to a different network didn't resolve the error, please reach out to our support team at support@inreachce.com or 877-880-1335 (between 7am and 7pm Central time, Monday-Friday) for further guidance.
