1. Under Course Tools in Course Management, click Blackboard Collaborate Ultra. 

   
2. Click on the Course Room Options circle. 
   
3. Select Edit settings from the menu.

6. Copy the Guest link. 
   
7. Click Save. 
   
8. Provide the session guest URL and guest access instructions to your guests.
