Clear Browser Cache and Cookies
Use this solution to remove outdated browser data that may be preventing the NEO LMS from recognizing your successful Sway sign-in token.
Authentication loops and loading failures for embedded content are frequently caused by corrupted cache files or outdated cookie tokens in your web browser.
Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of Chrome, navigate to 'More tools', and select 'Clear browsing data'. Check the boxes for cached images and files, as well as cookies and other site data, then click 'Clear data'.
Click the three-bar menu in the top right, select 'Settings', and navigate to 'Privacy & Security'. Scroll down to 'Cookies and Site Data', click 'Clear Data', select the relevant checkboxes, and hit 'Clear'.
Close your web browser completely, reopen it, navigate back to your NEO LMS portal, and attempt to sign into the Microsoft Sway presentation once more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does NEO LMS keep asking me to sign into Microsoft Sway when I already did?
This commonly occurs when your web browser blocks third-party cookies. Because Sway is embedded inside NEO LMS (a different domain), the browser prevents NEO LMS from reading the successful sign-in token from Microsoft's servers.
Can ad blockers cause Microsoft Sway presentations to fail loading?
Yes. Ad blockers, privacy extensions, and pop-up blockers can interfere with the authentication scripts and tracking cookies required for embedded Microsoft Sway presentations to load properly.
What should I do if clearing my cache does not resolve the embedded Sway issue?
If clearing cache and cookies fails, try accessing the NEO LMS portal using a completely different web browser (like Microsoft Edge). If the problem persists, contact your institution's IT department, as there may be an underlying integration issue between your LMS and Microsoft servers.
