Mobile Access

How to access sessions via a mobile device, for staff and students.

You no longer need an app to run Collaborate on your mobile device.  If you click on a link to a session it will open in your browser on your mobile device.

Supported devices and browsers

• Android: Chrome browser
• iOS 11+: Safari browser

Blackboard Learn App

If you access your Collaborate sessions via Learn, then it may be useful to download the Blackboard Learn app as this will help launch a Collaborate session if the link is provided within your Learn course.

Moderating on a mobile device

It is possible to moderate a session on your mobile device, but you will only have access to a limited subset of tools – e.g. application sharing is not available on mobile devices. It is therefore recommended that you use the browser view of Collaborate on a laptop or PC for the full range of moderator capabilities.
