How do I use the Inbox as a student?
Conversations is split into two panels and displays messages chronologically. You can view and reply to conversations and sort them by course or inbox type. Conversations itself does not have any file size limits; however, attachments added to a conversation are included in the sender's personal files.
Notes:
- If you right-click or option-click on the Inbox link, you can open your Conversation Inbox in a new browser tab to keep it handy while you are doing other tasks in Canvas.
- Users display in Conversations once they have an active enrollment in the course, and users cannot join a course unless it is published.

How do I bulk upload files to a course?
If you have a lot of files to add to your course, you can bulk upload them.
Notes:
- You can also bulk upload files by dragging and dropping the files into Canvas from your computer. However, sometimes too many files can cause problems. If you have more than 50 files, try zipping the files and uploading the ZIP file into your course.
- If you are using Usage Rights, you must set the file usage rights before the files can be published.

How do I view captions in a video in the New Rich Content Editor as a student?
Some videos within Canvas may contain closed-captioned files. You can view the captions in the closed-captioning menu.
Note: If you view a video in the Canvas by Instructure app, iOS devices can display captions created with WebVTT files. If you cannot view video captions in an iOS device, the caption type is not supported.

How do I add captions to new or uploaded videos in the New Rich Content Editor in Canvas as a student?
You can easily create and upload caption files when you add video content in the Rich Content Editor. The Rich Content Editor is used in features that support the editor (Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Pages, Quizzes, or Syllabus).
This lesson only applies to creating captions for videos created or uploaded into Canvas. If you've created a video outside of Canvas that you want to share in your course, learn how to create captions for external videos.
If you have not yet created or uploaded your video, learn how to record a new video or upload an existing video.
Note: Users can view video captions in the Canvas by Instructure mobile app. However, iOS devices can only display captions in WebVTT format. If you use another format besides WebVTT, users on iOS devices will not be able to display the video captions.

How do I create a conference in a student group?
You can create a conference in your student group. Conferences can accommodate up to 50 people.
You can create multiple conferences, which are listed in chronological order by the date they were created. The most recently created conference will appear at the top of the list.
Note: Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.
