Recording with Collaborate Ultra

You can also use Collaborate Ultra from within a meeting at any time. Once complete,  your students can access it 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.

  1. Join the session where you want to make the recording with the Moderator role. Presenters and participants cannot access the recording option. 
  2. Enable your microphone for audio and/or video and use the share tool to share display and files or applications you want Collaborate Ultra to capture in the recording. 
  3. Click the button located at top left-hand corner to access the recording feature

  4. Click Start Recording. The recording will begin immediately and include things in the session from the perspective of a Participant.

  5. When recording begins, all users in the session are notified. New users joining the session are also notified that it is being recorded. All users see the recording indicator in the upper left-hand corner of the session.

  6. When you are ready to end your recording, do so by accessing the "Stop Recording" button from the top left-hand menu.

  7. You can start and stop as many recordings as you like during a session. Please note that if all Moderators exit the session, the recording will stop automatically and you'll need to re-start it. Recordings are logged as separate events and cannot be combined later unless you download them and edit them offline. 
  8. Leave the session when finished—there are no extra steps to take. If you forget to stop the recording it will automatically stop when all of the moderators have left the session. The recording will not be discarded.

Accessing Your Collaborate Ultra Recordings

Info

Please note that recordings will not appear immediately. They can take at least as long as the duration of the original recording to be displayed. In times of high use, live sessions are given priority over recording processing. As such, recordings can sometimes take a few hours to appear in your recording list.

Recordings that include closed captioning can take 3-5 days to appear in the recording list. Such recordings will appear in the recording list without notification.
