Guide to Using Class - Virtual Conferencing

What is Class?

Class is a virtual classroom you can access in your course within Blackboard. 

Tips to using Class

  • You can use it on Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iPad, or Mobile.
  • The Class for Web must be launched in Chrome, Safari, or Edge.  It will not work on Firefox or any other web browser.
  • For a better experience, try to minimize the number of open tabs when using Class. 

How to Access Class

From your Blackboard course, look for the Class Video Conferencing link found in Blackboard Tools and click on it. Your instructor may have it linked in your class.
