Recording Sessions
Only people who are Moderators have the ability to record a session in Collaborate. There is more information on starting a recording can be found on Blackboards help pages.
Important
Due to a limited storage space to keep Collaborate recordings, we automatically move content to be in the courses Panopto ‘Recorded Sessions’ area.
The service is currently moving your recordings within 3 days after it has been made. We aim to shorten this soon.
If you cannot see the recording in ‘Recorded Sessions’, the following guide will show you where to look in Collaborate.
