Users can now record their screen and camera at the same time in Video Studio. This update supports more engaging and immersive recordings, helping instructors and students create content that reflects live presentations and lectures. 

Instructors and Students 

Instructors can record themselves while sharing their screen, making it easier to deliver lectures, walkthroughs, or demonstrations with both visual context and personal presence. Students can use this feature to present their work in a more expressive and professional format. 

This feature is part of Blackboard Core and works for announcements and feedback without a Video Studio license.
