How do I join a conference as an instructor?
You can join a conference that has already been started by the conference host. Instructors will be given moderator permissions when they join a conference started by another user.
To use your microphone, you must give Conferences access to your microphone settings. As part of joining the conference, you must verify these settings in your browser.
Note: The Course Navigation link for your web conferencing tool reflects the name of the web conferencing tool. The link may display as BigBlueButton, Adobe Connect, or the name of the web conferencing tool your institution uses.
Open Conferences
In Course Navigation, click the link for your web conferencing tool. The link name reflects the conferencing tool used by your institution.
Join Conference
Next to the conference you want to join, click the Join button.
Note: You cannot join a conference until the conference host has started the conference.
Adjust Audio Settings
To adjust your audio settings, click the Microphone dropdown. To use a specific microphone, select your desired microphone from the list. To join the conference without enabling a microphone, select No microphone (listen only).
