We have identified an issue where some users may receive an “Authorization blocked: Authorization error” message when attempting to access Screencastify or grant Google Drive permissions. Our Engineering team has identified the cause and is working toward a permanent resolution. Workaround: Affected users can restore access by removing Screencastify from their Google Account connections and then reconnecting their account: Visit your Google Account and navigate to Security → Your connections to third-party apps & services. Select Screencastify and choose Delete all connections or Remove Access. Return to Screencastify and select Sign in with Google. Select your Google account and accept the prompts to restore access.
