Our Engineering team has deployed a permanent fix for the Google authorization issue and we are monitoring the results. As part of the resolution, affected users may need to refresh their Google Drive permissions. If prompted to reconnect or reauthorize Screencastify, please sign in with Google and accept the requested permissions. If you continue to receive an "Authorization blocked: Authorization error” message, remove Screencastify from your Google Account connections and reconnect: 1. Navigate to Google Account → Security → Your connections to third-party apps & services. 2. Select Screencastify and choose Delete all connections or Remove Access. 3. Return to Screencastify and select Sign in with Google. 4. Select your Google account and accept the prompts to restore access. Videos stored in Google Drive may also be temporarily unavailable for playback until the video owner has signed back in and restored their Drive permissions. We’ll continue monitoring for any remaining impact.
