How do I use inline Chat as an instructor?
If configured for your institution, inline chat allows you to communicate with other users in a course from areas other than the Chat page. Inline chat will appear everywhere within a course except the Gradebook, Course Analytics, and SpeedGrader.
When inline chat is enabled, any user viewing a course will appear as online on the Chat page. Currently there is no load limit for a course chat, but larger numbers of course users may affect performance.
You can also chat with course users from the Chat page.
Notes:
- If you cannot view inline chat, it has not been enabled for your institution.
- Chat alerts are not available for inline chat.

How do I subscribe to the Calendar feed using Outlook as an instructor?
You can subscribe to the Calendar Feed using Outlook 2013 on your desktop. The calendar feed will contain events and assignments from all of your Canvas calendars. Once you have subscribed to the calendar feed, you can remove the calendar feed at any time in Outlook by opening the Tools menu, clicking Account Settings, and selecting the Internet Calendars tab.
If you are using an earlier version of Outlook, these steps may differ.
Notes:
- All future events, and past events within 30 days, are included when exporting a Canvas calendar to Outlook.
- Outlook periodically updates but may take up to 24 hours to sync with the Canvas Calendar. Canvas update may not be immediately visible in Outlook.
- If your institution/organization uses a Microsoft Exchange Server account, you can also subscribe to the calendar feed using the Outlook Web App in Exchange Server. This allows you to access your Outlook calendar online if you are away from your desktop. Please contact your IT administrator at your organization/institution for more information.

How do I remove students from a Scheduler appointment in a course calendar?
You can remove students from appointments in the Scheduler if necessary.
Notes:
- If user participation is limited to dates between the course start and end dates, Scheduler events cannot be edited or deleted after the date the course ends.
- Currently, Scheduler has two options for viewing appointments. This lesson is for instructors who can manage appointment groups directly in their calendar. If your calendar displays the Scheduler button as a calendar view, you can only remove students in the Scheduler page.
