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!

Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
