Join a Collaborate Ultra Session

​Tips for using Collaborate Ultra

  • Find a comfortable place with no distractions.
  • Join 5-10 minutes prior to the start of the session so that you will have time to troubleshoot any technical issues.
  • For the best sound quality, use a headset with a built‐in microphone.

Step 3: Set up audio and video if you are prompted to do so.

 

Join a session from your eCampus course

Your instructor may also create a link within your eCampus course that will allow you to access Collaborate Ultra. When you login to eCampus, make sure you are using a supported browser (Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge or Safari).

In the example below, an instructor has created a menu item called “Collaborate Ultra”. After clicking the menu link, students in this course can select a session to join.

Important: Not all eCampus courses have a Collaborate Ultra link, and the name and location of the link may vary between courses. Ask your instructor if you are not sure if you can access Collaborate Ultra in a particular eCampus course.

If this is your first time joining a session on this device, you may also be prompted to set up audio and video.

 

Dial-in to the session with your phone (audio only)

Your instructor may send dial-in information for a Collaborate Ultra session. If they do, you will have the option to call the number and enter the anonymous dial-in PIN (Personal Identification Number) sent to you. You will appear as an anonymous caller to other attendees in the session.

Check with your instructor to see if a dial-in option will be available.

Important: Up to 25 attendees can dial ​in to a session from a phone. Once the maximum number of dial-in attendees has been reached, no one else can call in.
