Recording with Collaborate Ultra

...

You can also use Collaborate Ultra to record lectures that from within a meeting at anytime. Once complete,  your students can access via a link in your Blackboard course.  The recordings can be shared publicly or downloaded by the instructor to edit, archive, or upload to another video streaming service.

*NOTE: If you go to a breakout session, the recording will automatically stop and you will have to restart it when you end the breakout session or come back to the main room.

1. Access your Collaborate Ultra through your Blackboard Course. 
2. Only Instructors and TAs can access Session/Room Settings. Instructors and TAs will enter a room as a Moderator, the only role that allows for recording. If you create additional rooms where students join as Moderators, they will also have access to the recording function. 
Before the session begins, consider the settings for the Room or Session you want to record. Recordings will automatically become available for streaming, but if you want to download the recording so you can edit it later or host it on another service, you should enable the option for recording downloads before the session begins. Please note: you cannot enable downloads for a recording once it is completed.

Recordings are logged as separate events and cannot be combined later unless you download them and edit them offline.
