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.
