Yes. Blackboard's Lockdown Browser can detect screen mirroring during a proctored examination. However, Blackboard cannot detect screen mirroring, or any other activity during an unproctored examination.Mar 30, 2022
This package, as it’s name indicates, is open source. Currently it’s Windows only and can be downloaded here (a multiplatform studio version is on the way). The main feature of OBS is to mix and stream different video/audio sources. The feature we found particularly useful was selecting a region of the desktop.
To stream the event we need something to stream to. There is various guidance on the setup and requirements of a YouTube streamed event. The important step is to make sure you specify an ‘Other encoder’ to get a Stream Name/Key to enter in OBS later.
Before you stream you need to join the Blackboard Collaborate session as usual. In ocTEL we need a generic name (A_L_T). As we are streaming the computers desktop and wanted to avoid any other notifications or sounds for ocTEL we did this on a dedicated laptop with the OBS software installed.
First you need to configure the connection to YouTube this is done in the Settings > Settings menu under Broadcast Settings. In here you want to make sure:
When you are ready to go live click the ‘Start Streaming’ button in OBS and visit you YouTube event ‘Live Control Room’ to check data is coming through and ‘Preview’ it. Finally when you are ready you can switch the from Preview to Live.
