Troubleshooting
If you try to record audio/video and receive an error saying "permissions required," you need to allow Blackboard to access your microphone/camera.
For Chrome:
- Select the button on the left of the web address bar (when you hover over this button, it will say "View site information").
You can see what permissions you've given to the site after clicking this icon
- Select the arrow to the right of the microphone/video
- Select the microphone/camera that you wish to use and allow use on the website (box next to microphone should be blue)
You can also change your setting for the website by going to your Google Chrome Settings and selecting Privacy and security > Site settings > bridgew.blackboard.com > Allow Camera and Microphone
For Safari (Mac):
- Select the button on the left of the website address bar
- Select "Website Settings"
- Ensure Camera and Microphone are allowed
On a Mac, if you attempt to screen record and receive the error below, you will need to allow your web browser to record your screen.
For Chrome:
- Select "Open System Settings"
- Make sure the box next to "Google Chrome" is blue:
- Close and reopen Google Chrome
For Safari (Mac), you will receive a pop up that asks you to allow "bridgew.blackboard.com" to share your screen. Select Allow. You can change these settings in your "site settings" later on if needed.
