Conferences are primarily used for virtual lectures, virtual office hours, and student groups. They can also be used to demonstrate technologies or troubleshoot technology issues online. For best performance, Conferences should be limited to 100 users or fewer. Canvas integrates with BigBlueButton.
Notes:
- Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.
- For more information on web conferencing options in Canvas, view Web Conferencing Resources.
