If not available, use a Wifi connection. Only use up-to-date Internet browsers that are supported by Blackboard Collaborate.
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.
