We are not currently licensed for BigBlueButton but it is showing up on our course navigation menu. We have hidden it but I want to remove it entirely so the instructor does not see it either. How do I do this?
Hi @casey_eubank,
Are you using the Instructure housed cloud Canvas product? As far as I know, a basic BigBlueButton license is included with that Canvas subscription. The menu item used to be called Conferences, but was renamed to reflect the 3rd party vendor in the last couple years. I don't think there's a way to remove that entirely even from as an admin, but I'd recommend reaching out to your Instructure CSM to see if they have any additional controls to remove that item if you'd really like it gone.

What @chriscas describes is exactly what we had to do, @casey_eubank. We started using Canvas several years ago and were unhappy that we could not map "Conferences" to a different video conferencing tool, so we contacted our CSM to have "Conferences" removed entirely from our instance.
Thank you everyone! I will contact Support!
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
