• Access to the meeting room is granted via a
URL
• The URL for a Collaborate session looks
something like this:

3. After accessing the URL you will be asked
to enter your screen name for the meeting.
Please enter your full name

4. After clicking log in you will be prompted
to download a small meeting file

5. Once you have launched the program you will be prompted
to run the program
Depending on your browser configuration you may
need to double click the downloaded file to launch
the program.

6. You will see the Blackboard Collaborate
logo as the program is launching

7. Welcome to Collaborate!
I look forward to our upcoming meeting!
