Note: This feature is in beta and is not supported. Do not use it for teaching.

This will provide faster and better audio and video, but will not change the interface or usability of Collaborate. Chime is currently in beta, but it is available now for anyone who wishes to take a look. If you wish to try it, please be aware that the following features are not yet available:

Improvements have been made to the scheduling of Collaborate sessions in webinar mode (those with over 250 attendees)
|
21 February 2022

As more than half of University topics are now using the starter site, lecture recordings will now start publishing in locations that align with the starter site template. Week 1 videos will appear in module 4, week 2 videos will appear in module 5, and so on. For those not using the starter site, your lectures will now appear in the wrong location and you will need to move them to their correct week. We apologise for the inconvenience this causes, but this option causes the least inconvenience across the university. |
