Insight Tips

Along the bottom of the panel the tips will appear to prompt further interaction with the participants.

Closing Insights Panel

To close the Insights panel click on the large X in the bottom left-hand corner of the panel. Once closed the panel will appear as a small icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

Insights for Recordings

In the Collaborate Ultra Recordings page there is a new tab named Recording Usage. This tab shows data on how many views or downloads a recording has received.

Insights for Students

Students can now see where they are in the queue of raised hands. A small number will appear next to the Hand Raised icon.
