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!

Good morning!
@JenniferOstrows , were you able to disable this feature successfully?
@chriscas I just got a call from a principal because a teacher disabled the Chat feature on the menu, but students are still accessing Chat via the URL. I'm not sure what that means - what URL could they be using? Is it possible they have something cached? Do you have any insights?
Thank you!

Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
