If your instructor records the meeting, here's where you'll find the recording:

  • Click Meetings in your class Sakai site, and then click the Recordings tab.
  • Note: Recordings do not appear immediately at the end of the meeting. It make be a few hours before it is available.

What if I lose connectivity in a meeting?

You may get disconnected from a session -- for example, if your bandwidth drops too low.

Refresh your browser if you get disconnected (or if things don't seem to be working).

  • Refreshing the browser will give you a new connection and, if the bandwidth drop was temporary, you should be able to reconnect within a few seconds to rejoin the meeting.

If refreshing doesn't work...

  • check your internet connection
  • try logging in with a different browser or on a different device
