Where do I find the joining links?
Whether your module is using Blackboard Collaborate or Microsoft Teams Meetings for these sessions, the joining links can be found in your Blackboard Course.
How do I join a session?
Blackboard Collaborate
Clicking on a Blackboard Collaborate joining link will open the Collaborate window and you’ll be asked to check your audio and camera settings before joining. For more information on joining a session in Collaborate, see the Blackboard Help for Students page: Getting started with Blackboard Collaborate.
Microsoft Teams Meetings
When your lecturer has created a Teams Meeting in Blackboard, you’ll be able to access Teams Meetings on the Course Content page of your Blackboard Course. Follow the instructions for joining the meeting:
