Hi, I am having issues with my video recordings of BBB (BigBlueButton) in Canvas. I can record my class, but when the recording is created the students get a 404 error when they try to access the video link. Does anyone have any suggestions? Pete
As a teacher, is there a way to change the precision in Canvas. I saw that it rounds off the hundredthousandths place 0.00014= 0.0001. Is there a way to change this setting? When I do Canvas as SJCC the numerical answers get an extra decimal place. 0.000464 would round off the millionths to 0.00046 It seems like I should…
Is there a way for Professors to calculate class average scores (semester totals) without doing this manually? Manual calculations are OK for small classes, but when you have a large class, this method becomes a challenge and I question the accuracy of this method.
Why on earth would Canvas change this feature? The comments within the same assignment allowed me to see the conversation with my student, allowed me to see what I had already typed to them, and we could communicate this way. Now I have no idea what I wrote previously - I have to go up and click on as many submissions as…

Date_post - post date must be after start date." I'm not sure as to what it's requiring since the date post is after the start date. The start…
Why doesn't Canvas have a way for case managers to manage accommodations/modifications at the account level? It seems inefficient for multiple teachers to have to go in and manager each individual student.
I took my 2.5 hour exam today only to find out that none of my progress was saved. When the time limit was reached, the exam flashed a “Go to Results” on screen. Nothing was happening when I clicked the button, so I refreshed the tab. Then, it said the site couldn’t be reached. I assumed it had automatically saved and…
Is there a setting in Canvas that opens up more/less for parental access? I saw a parent account this weekend where they could see only 'Assignments' for some courses, but 'Assignments' and 'Front Page' for others. Does the parent have to pair with their student for each class, or just once as the student?
When using the grading feature, the screen jumps quickly left and right about 1/8" or more. It's like trying to hit a moving target just to click Submit. Keying and then editing is an impossibility with the jumpy screen.
