Google Chrome users may need to install this browser extension from Blackboard before they can use the Share Application/Screen feature. 

Using Application Sharing

...

  1. Select the Collaborate Panel button.



  2. Select the Attendees icon (highlight in red below) at the bottom of the panel to see a list of all participants.



  3. Select the ellipsis icon to the right of the Participant’s name and select Make Presenter or Make Moderator to promote the Participant.



    Info

    Tip: If possible, identify those Participants you will be promoting to Presenter/Moderator before the ‘live’ session and test how well they can Application Share in a separate ‘Test’ Blackboard Collaborate Session. This will help identify any potential issues and give you time to resolve them.


The new Share Camera option in Blackboard Collaborate Ultra gives the Moderator/Presenter the ability to share more than one camera with participants.
