Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I receive a “No compatible source was found for this media” error message when I play movies?
Unfortunately, Internet Explorer versions on Windows 7 or earlier do not support BrainPOP movie players. If you're using these with Windows 7, we recommend using another browser such as Chrome or Firefox.
Can I use BrainPOP on a Promethean or other smart board?
BrainPOP is not designed for use on Promethean boards or any other smart boards. We recommend always using Google Chrome or Firefox to access BrainPOP, and to access on a desktop computer, laptop computer or tablet. We do not offer technical support for smart board use.
