I’m facing an issue in both the **Teak** and **Sumac** releases of Open edX. In the **frontend-app-authoring (Studio)**, I’m not able to **copy the Studio URL or the Web URL** for units.

I’ve recorded videos showing the problem:

Has anyone else experienced this issue? or is there some configuration I might be missing?

Are you running this over http - eg. on a local Tutor devstack?

I experienced a similar issue recently on my local Tutor devstack. The cause was was that the browser [Clipboard API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API) can only be used in a [secure context](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Secure_Contexts). And [http://local.openedx.io:8000](http://local.openedx.io:8000) is not a secure context (it’s insecure http protocol, and not served from localhost). As far as I know, there’s no workaround apart from serving over https, or using localhost as the domain (if you’re running it locally in a devstack).

It would be nice if the frontend here had a graceful fallback when the clipboard api isn’t available.
