Chrome is the preferred browser for video and audio sharing in Blackboard Collaborate. Therefore use Chrome as your browser for the best results. 

  1. From the Collaborate Panel go to Share Application/Screen. Click on the Share Content icon (1) and then click the Share Application/Screen menu option (2).

  2. From the resulting pop-up window, you’ll see three options: (A) Your Entire Screen, (B) Application Window, and (C) Chrome Tab. You are presented with the Share audio setting on only two of these options (A) Your Entire Screen and (C) Chrome Tab.
