Recommended screen setup during application share
Resize your application to fit the rest of your screen
Keep the Blackboard Collaborate left-hand panel visible so you
can see your audience
Stop / Pause appshare, or take a
snapshot

Application sharing best practice
Read and practice in your own time:
− Use with caution – requires higher bandwidth Ensure your appshare settings are correct to cope with this as
best as possible− Make sure the application is running on your desktop before
launching− We recommend sharing specific application(s) rather than
the whole desktop− Ask your participants if they can see your application ok− Advise them they can scroll left, right, up & down, or “scale
to fit”− The Blackboard Collaborate left hand panel should remain
on the left of your screen− You should resize your application to fit the rest of the
available window space

File transfer
The file transfer tool allows you to load a file into the Blackboard Collaborate session and send it to all the participants.
Same as the multimedia function, Files should be kept relatively small so as not to have any issues during the Blackboard Collaborate session.
Once the file has been loaded, learners will receive a prompt to save the file
You also have an option to hand out specific files at different points in time
− See options in File Transfer Library.
