 What is Chat?

The Chat tool in Canvas allows students and teachers to interact in real time.

Notes:

  • The Chat tool must be enabled for your institution before it can be used in Canvas courses.
  • When Chat is enabled at the account level, it is enabled by default in all courses within the account.
  • Safari 13.1 contains an update that may cause issues with chat alerts. You can avoid errors with files and images by disabling cross-site tracking prevention in Safari when using Canvas.

Video overviews reflect current feature functionality in Canvas.

They are updated based on workflow changes, not on minor or non-functional interface enhancements.

The Canvas interface for NUS may display differently than shown in this video, but the functionality is the same.
