Video Conferencing

Blackboard Learn Ultra and Original connect to multiple real-time video conferencing tools (Collaborate Ultra, Zoom) that lets you add files, share applications, and use a virtual whiteboard to interact.

New faculty will need to log in to miami.zoom.us with their CaneID (SSO:Single Sign-On) to activate their Zoom account before using it in Blackboard.
