Even when you are part of a group conversation, you can privately respond to another individual.

You can upload supplemental files as part of your Conversations messages.

Note: Attachments appear in your user files in the Conversation Attachments folder and count against the files limit for your account.

You may be able to use Conversations to send a message to all users in a course, all users in a specific role, or all users in a group.

If your recipient list contains more than 100 users, your message will automatically be sent as individual messages to each user.

Notes:

• Messaging all users is a course permission. If you cannot send a message to all users, your institution has restricted this feature.
• Once your course has concluded, you cannot send a message to all users.
• Users display in Conversations once they have an active enrollment in the course, and users cannot join a course unless it is published.

The Conferences page allows you to view all the conferences within a course. As a student, you can join conferences where you have been invited to participate.

In student groups, you can create new conferences, start conferences, and manage concluded conferences.

Note: Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.
