Blackboard Collaborate: Large class sizes

The maximum size of a regular Collaborate Ultra session is 250 users.

If you need to run a Collaborate session with more than 250 users (up to a maximum of 500 users), you will need to create the session as a Large Scale Session.

Having created your Collaborate event, go to the Session Settings tab.

Scroll down and tick the box under Large scale session (250+).
