How to Download Recordings from Blackboard Collaborate
If Collaborate is used in multiple courses in D2L, the instructor will need to go to each course and download any important files from each course.

Save Recordings to Your Computer
1. Access Blackboard Collaborate within your course.
2. Click the menu (three platters) in the upper left-hand corner and click the Recordings link.
3. If you don’t see the recording you want, click Recent Recordings and select Recordings In A Range.
4. Enter a date range.
5. To the right of the recording you want, click the three dots in a circle icon to access Recording Options and select Download. The Delete link is also located here.
6. Save the recording to your computer. The video can now be deleted from Blackboard.
