Sending a message to every student and one class from another student

[DanielZaino]

How do I select every classmate without selecting them individually? There are 143 students in my class, and I want to send one message out to all of them.  It takes three steps to include one classmate.  There has to be a simpler way to include everyone in one message without being an instructor.

Hi there, @DanielZaino ...

If I am interpreting your question correctly, it sounds like you are a student, correct?  If so, then you should be able to add all student to a message you are trying to send via the Canvas Inbox.  Have you checked out this Guide?

How do I send a message to all course users in the Inbox as a student?

Or, if you are an instructor, there is a similar Guide here:

How do I send a message to all course users in the Inbox as an instructor?

I hope this will help a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!

Chris has given you excellent information, @DanielZaino . I'll call attention to this section of the lesson to which Chris linked: 

• Messaging all users is a course permission. If you cannot send a message to all users, your institution has restricted this feature.
