Because of file size/storage limitations on Blackboard, we recommend using the Panopto Videos tool within Blackboard to upload any recorded videos to your course.
Steps to configure your Blackboard course for Panopto and how to make videos available to your students: https://spidertechnet.richmond.edu/TDClient/1955/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=99972

Instructors control whether a course in Blackboard is visible to students. If you are enrolled in a course but cannot see the course in Blackboard, contact your instructor to determine if they are using Blackboard this term, and if so, when they will make it available to you.

Due to recent work on the Blackboard server, all spring 2019 courses were made unavailable. If the course was available prior to Monday evening, your course was impacted by the work. Professors will need to make their courses available to students again. Here is a link showing two different methods for making the course available: https://blog.richmond.edu/blackboard/2018/08/23/course-unavailable-to-students-message/
We regret the unintended consequences of the needed work and assure you that no additional work will be required on the system which will negatively impact the availability of your courses.
If you have any questions, please contact Blackboard support at blackboard@richmond.edu or by calling 287-6860.
Thank you,
Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology
