Best practices for best experience Close all programs on your computer except for the browser you are using for your Collaborate session. Use a hard-wired (Ethernet) connection, if available. If not available, use a Wifi connection. Only use up-to-date Internet browsers that are supported by Blackboard Collaborate.
Try clearing your browser cache, and reloading the session. Restart your computer. Try using Firefox instead of Chrome. Try dialling into the session using your phone.
Ultimately, this may cause your computer to reset its Internet connection in an attempt to overcome the connection problem, disconnecting you from Blackboard Collaborate. If your connection is poor, try selecting a higher connection speed (broadband users) or lower connection speed (dial-up users).Aug 4, 2014
The support has been very good. We integrate Blackboard into our learning management system so everything is seamless for users. Most issues arise from the user's browser configuration, cookies, and other privacy settings, not from the tool itself. Collaborate is pretty reliable with strong audio and video quality.
Select a Camera If only one video camera is installed on your computer, Blackboard Collaborate automatically uses it when you preview and transmit video. However, if you have more than one video input device on your computer, you can choose which device to use.
No sound (you can't hear other attendees) Ensure that the correct audio device (speakers) is selected. Ensure that sound volume on the computer is not muted or set really low. Ensure that sound volume on the desired audio output device (e.g., speakers or headset) is not muted or set really low.Oct 25, 2021
