Conferences makes it easy to meet with your instructor and other students in synchronous (real-time) discussions within your course. Currently, Canvas integrates with BigBlueButton. Your instructor may invite you to course-wide conferences or set up personal conferences.Conferences allows you to broadcast real-time audio, video, share presentation slides, and share any other online resources.
