It is a known issue with Blackboard that a webcam
preview may not appear while making a video
recording. This glitch will be addressed in a future
update to Learn. If you encounter this issue, you
can make a sample recording to frame the video as
desired. After the recording is complete, faculty will
see the webcam view as shown on the following
slide…

your recording. Select “Delete recording” to discard and start over. Select “Save
and exit” to insert your recording into your assignment feedback.

There is a 5 minute maximum length for audio/video
feedback within Blackboard Learn.
As a best practice, you should include additional written
feedback and a grading rubric along with audio/video
feedback.
Audio and video feedback is a great way to enhance
instructor presence and the human element in online
courses.
