Version 1.0
The Blackboard Building Block allows you to easily add video to BlackBoard. Users that are logged into BlackBoard can click and view a video posted whether it's public or private. BlackBoard generates a signed URL: for the video that is only available once and only for that user. Contact our sales team if you're interested in the Blackboard Building Block.
