Gallery view is a highly requested feature for Collaborate at UAMS. We’re happy to announce that Blackboard has enabled Gallery view for all users through the Google Chrome web browser.
Gallery view lets you see the most students at one time. With this view, you can see up to 25 attendees on a page. 25 is the optimum number of videos you can show on a page and still see enough detail for visual non-verbal feedback.
Note: Gallery view isn’t available in Safari® on iOS or iPadOS at this time.

How to Activate Gallery View
To activate Gallery View simply click the four tiles in the upper right-hand corner of the screen then click Gallery View.
Note: Streaming videos can demand a lot from your network connection or system. 25 videos is a lot of streaming videos. Collaborate may turn off Gallery view when the load is too much to improve your experience.
We’re happy that these features are available to all users now. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact us through BlackboardHelp@uams.edu.
