Browser compatibility and notifications

Compatible browsers

Jostle supports the latest two versions of all major browsers*, including:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari (Mac)
• Microsoft Edge

Javascript and cookies need to be enabled as well.

NOTE—full support doesn’t extend to these browsers on mobile. If using an iPhone, iPad or Android device to access the Jostle platform, we recommend doing so via our mobile app instead.

*As Microsoft 365 ended their support for Internet Explorer 11 on August 17, 2021, Jostle has phased out support for the browser as well. While IE11 can still be used to access the Jostle platform, we can't make any guarantees that the platform will work as expected. We highly recommend using one of the other browser options listed above.

Browser notifications

The first time you access your intranet you will be given the option to choose whether to receive Jostle Notifications on your browser settings.
