I have read the article about disabling the course chat in Canvas LMS. I teach in a k-6 school and would like to disable the course chat for my courses. How do I disable the course chat feature?
Hi @JenniferOstrows,
Assuming you mean the default Chat tool that Canvas cloud has available on the left hand course menu, you can follow the How do I manage Course Navigation links? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com) guide to disable the Chat item. If this doesn't work for you, please let us know!

Thank you!

If I set…

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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
