Question:
How do I access the guest link in Blackboard Ultra (BBU) Collaborate? 
Answer:
Providing Guest Link for Captioning in BBU Collaborate
Accessibility & Disability Services (ADS) will contact you directly for any student who will require Communication Real Time Transcription (CART) service for any live sessions scheduled for class. ADS will ask you to provide the guest link for the captioner so they can access the collaborate session without credentials. If you are asked by ADS to provide the link, please follow the steps below:

Step 1: Click on the ellipse next to Blackboard Collaborate, then click “Get course room guest link”
