Blackboard Collaborate has many PC users. Some of them use it to hold a meeting, some use it to attend a class. It is normal that people want to record the conference or lesson as a video for later review. Collaborate offers users the recording function.

Users can make a Collaborate Ultra online meeting room available inside groups, and optionally allow the audience to record their session. However, webcams video is only part of the recording if there are no files or screens being shared. And once a file/screen is shared, the webcam will not be recorded.

Therefore, if you want to record a video from Blackboard Collaborate without any limitations, you will need a third-party video conference recorder.
