Steps for Downloading Blackboard Ultra Collaborate Recordings from Blackboard Learn Original 

If you would like to keep any of your Blackboard Collaborate recordings, you should download them before the end of April 2021. You can download recordings from Collaborate using the following steps:  (Note: you have to do this for each individual recording).

  1. Access Blackboard Collaborate within your course.
  2. Open the menu in the upper left-hand corner, and select Recordings.
  3. If you don’t see the recording you want, click Recent Recordings and select Recordings In A Range. Enter a date range.
  4. To the right of the recording you want, click the three dots in a circle icon Recording options icon which looks like a circle with three horizontal dots to access Recording options, and select Download.
  5. Save the recording to a location on your computer, external drive or Google Drive.  

If you do not see the option to download a recording, this may be due to recording downloads not being enabled on the Collaborate session at the time of the recording. You can enable recording downloads by completing the following: 

  1. Access Blackboard Collaborate within your course. 
  2. If you don't see the Collaborate session that you would like to enable recordings for, next to Filter by click All Upcoming Sessions and select All Previous Sessions.
  3. To the right of the session, click the three dots in a circle icon Recording options icon which looks like a circle with three horizontal dots to access Session options and select Edit settings.
  4. Under Event Details, change the date and time to a date and time in the future. 
  5. Next, expand Session Settings and check the box next to Allow recording downloads.
  6. Click Save.
  7. You should now be able to navigate to Recordings and download your recordings using the previously stated steps.
