Interactive video in Blackboard Learn Ultra

Upload a Mindstamp SCORM package to a Blackboard Learn Ultra course, and Blackboard records a grade from the schema you pick at import. To play the video inside a Document instead, an admin must first enable an alternate domain for your site, because the Add HTML block does not appear without one.

As documented by Blackboard Learn Ultra. Documents checked September 30, 2026.

Known issues

Check these before you publish

No Add HTML option
Your site has no alternate domain. Ask an admin to enable one, or upload a SCORM package instead.
Warning banner on an inline Web Link
Blackboard says the course panel view is for content on Blackboard or your institution’s website. Students can see a warning banner when parts of a page do not show, so keep the default new window.
The grade schema is final
Blackboard does not let you change the grade schema or the maximum score after import. Decide before you upload.
Fullscreen inside the HTML block
The block runs in Blackboard’s own iframe, and Blackboard does not document fullscreen there. Try fullscreen as a test student. If it fails, use a Web Link that opens in a new window.
