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.
The device you have runs on Chrome OS, which already has Chrome browser built-in. No need to manually install or update it — with automatic updates, you'll always get the latest version.
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.
