      <title>StarLeaf and Blackboard Collaborate Platforms - Advanced notice of platform retirements (1st July 2022)</title>
      <link>https://warwick.ac.uk/services/idg/services-support/av/news/?newsItem=8a1785d87d23c70f017d356ad2c57bcb</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/servicessupport/av/"&gt;AV Services&lt;/a&gt; would like to announce that the &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/servicessupport/av/vc/"&gt;Audio and Video Conferencing - StarLeaf&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/servicessupport/av/bbcollab"&gt;Blackboard Collaborate - Webinar Service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;platforms will both be retired from our support model as of the &lt;strong&gt;1st July 2022&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After this date, &lt;strong&gt;any new requests&lt;/strong&gt; to setup an &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/servicessupport/av/vc/"&gt;Audio and Video Conference&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/servicessupport/av/bbcollab"&gt;Webinar booking&lt;/a&gt; on either of these platforms,&lt;strong&gt; will be rejected&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;All &lt;strong&gt;existing sessions will remain operational after this date&lt;/strong&gt; and the self service support content will still be published, however any requests to modify existing bookings for existing customers will be handled on a case by case basis and &lt;strong&gt;may be subject to the request being declined&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We recommend all new and existing customers &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/365collaborate/teams"&gt;utilise the Microsoft Teams platform&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h6&gt;Why are we taking this decision?&lt;/h6&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In light of the ever declining use of both platforms and a transformation in both usage levels and the breadth and depth of functionality now found within &lt;a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/its/365collaborate/teams"&gt;Microsoft Teams&lt;/a&gt;, now is the right time to refocus our service priorities to maximise the level of service and support we can offer to our customers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For any questions in relation to this policy, &lt;a href="https://warwick.service-now.com/sp?id=sc_cat_item&amp;amp;sys_id=74140ebae57aa0000807c26dc49f3e6a"&gt;please feel free to log a call&lt;/a&gt; (Please select &lt;strong&gt;Audio Visual&lt;/strong&gt; as needed)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
