[ARCHIVED] Enable chat for multiple sections in one course

[Lsacal]

Hello Comunnity. I need to enable the chat por the same course un multiple sections. Is it possible? I have course with more than 400 students. So I need a chat individually for each section.

Hello @Lsacal 

Thank you for contacting Canvas Support. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with customizing the chat tool to specific sections. Currently, there isn't a way to group specific students together within this tool which includes assigning to sections as it applies to all students within the course. We could consider having you speak with your school's CSM directly to see about customizing something like this or coming up with an alternative. We certainly understand the need for having the chat tool apply to sections only as other functions like creating assignments can. Feel free to check out our Ideas Conversation forum as we implement great ideas such as this that we find within the community.
