If i didn't already have vast experience with Microsoft, I would say this is worst piece crap software I have ever tried to work with.

I have better things to do than play Wac-a-Mole. 

"Here kid, look in these 10 places to see if your teacher has any new expectations"

Get 'em on board before they are old enough to know incompetence when they see it?

 

I AM IN A STEM CLASS AND THIS STUPID SOFTWARE IS THE MOST DIFFICULT THING IN IT.

Web Conferencing in Canvas

As users migrate to a mostly online space, web conferences will be an integral part of student and faculty success.
Institutions can use web conferencing in Canvas through the Canvas Conferences tool or through enabling an LTI that provides its own web conferencing functionality.

Some institutions may have conferences disabled or may use alternate forms outside of Canvas. Please check your institution if you have any questions with these scenarios.

 

Canvas Conferences Overview

Canvas integrates with BigBlueButton to provide a conferencing tool to Canvas users. Canvas customers can choose to use the free version of Canvas Conferences or use the premium tier for additional reporting and functionality.

For information on creating and managing conferences within the Canvas interface, view the Canvas documentation below. For information on using the BigBlueButton conferencing tool, view the BigBlueButton documentation below.
