How to talk to my colleagues? 

[katiehamilton · Accepted solution]

Hello @em668 !

Although the information you have provided is limited, it sounds like you would like to be able to talk to your colleagues through Canvas. 

The best way to talk to your colleagues through Canvas would be to use our Canvas InboxHow do I use the Inbox as an instructor? 

There is a catch to this, which would be that both you and your colleague must be actively enrolled in the same course for you to be able to message each other through the Canvas Inbox.

If you would like to see expansions made to our Canvas Inbox, I would recommend creating an Idea in our Community How do I create a new idea conversation in the Instructure Community?

to colleagues, in the same course and in my group I don't know-how.

Are you a student or an instructor?  That will help determine the kinds of resources that we can provide to you.  If you are a student, you might also want to reach out to your instructor using the information in this Guide:

Thanks for confirming that you are a student.  These video tutorials might help...as they show a couple different ways you can communicate with your classmates in your course(s):

• Inbox Overview (All Users)
• Discussions Overview (Students)
• Chat Overview (Students)
• Groups Overview (Students)

Hope this will help a bit.  Let Community members know if you have other questions about this...thanks!
