Conferences

Overview

The Conferences tool allows you to remotely show a student an application on your desktop, review slides with students, hold a virtual class or virtual office hours, or hold a real-time class for online or hybrid courses.  The Conference feature is more robust than Chat in that users can share digital content and screens while also chatting via text, video and/or audio.
