Canvas won't load. I can’t use it on my computer but can log into my phone. It let's me log in but then freezes. I cannot see my dashboard on computer. Can I please just get an email or phone number for customer service?
Hi @SarahYacoub ,Unfortunately, there is no single global support phone number or email for Canvas. Support options will depend on what your school/district/institution have chosen as part of their Canvas subscription. You can check out the How do I contact Canvas Support? - Instructure Community article for some general help guidance, but you may need to reach out to someone locally to get the bets help.
If your dashboard is blank or not loading, I'd recommend making sure your computer's operating system and web browser are as up to date as possible, since the most common cause I see of dashboards not loading is out of date software. You could also try an alternate browser (Chrome, Edge, and Firefox should all generally work) if that's an option for you.
Sorry I couldn't give a more complete answer, but I hope this helps a bit!

Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
