Website feedback, question or issue
Where can I report broken links, typos and generally weird stuff?
Let's face it, sometimes things happen. If you found a broken link, stale content or a typo, we'd love to hear from you. Please choose one of the aliases below, based on the section of the website where you encountered the issue. If you aren’t sure, please send us a note at website-content@tableau.com.
Trouble logging in to the site?
The best place to start is to reset your tableau.com account password. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, please submit a help request and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Access to a page was denied
If you were denied access to a specific page, please check to make sure you are logged in using your Tableau ID. Access the sign-in portal from the website's header. On rare occasions, you may have insufficient permissions to access a given page. It's also possible that the page was referenced by mistake in promotional materials. If you believe this is the case, please send us a note at website-content@tableau.com.
Videos appear broken/My screen is black/I received an error message
Brightcove, our video hosting provider, may be blocked within your network. You'll probably need to contact your IT department and check if your organisation's network is preventing video playback from Brightcove.
If this doesn’t resolve it, please refer to the list of domains and ports that should be enabled in order for videos to work and refer to the set of Brightcove system requirements. You may also want to try installing the latest version of Adobe Flash Player and ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser.
As a last resort, you can always download the videos from each video detail page. Find the link labelled MP4 to download and watch them.
The most common error messages that you may receive while trying to access on-demand training videos are the following:
- 200, Stream not found
- The video connection was lost, please confirm that you are connected to the Internet. Error code: MEDIA_ERR_NETWORK
