How does Chat work?

Can I chat with my  entire class at once or with only one student at a time?

Hi  @sgehring . You can chat in real-time with anyone who is online at that time. Here's some more information and please let us know if you have additional questions.

How do I use Chat as an instructor?

HI Adam,

so if I tell my class that they should all participate in Canvas Chat at our regularly scheduled time they can ask questions, see myself answers, etc?
