Joining
- Log in to Canvas, open your course, and select the Conferences tool.
- Join the meeting.

- From the options on the screen, choose whether you will be speaking into a microphone or just listening with speakers. Select the phone option if you have neither a mic or speakers.
- Be sure to ALLOW the Microphone and Camera when the browser pop-up appears.

Muting/Unmuting
The mic icon is a toggle button. Click it to mute or unmute your microphone. When it is blue, your mic is not muted. When it is black, your mic is muted.

Presenting
- If asked to present, your instructor will need to assign Presenter rights to you. When that happens a new icon will appear at the bottom right.
- Before clicking the new, Share Screen icon, open the file(s) you will be presenting so they are ready when you share your screen. NOTE: If you will be presenting a PowerPoint presentation:
- Open the presentation file.
- Select the SlideShow tab.
- Remove the checkmark next to Use presenter view.
- Now you are ready to share your screen, switch back to the Canvas Conferences browser tab.
- Firefox

- Click Allow.

- Google Chrome
- Click the Share Screen icon from the bottom right.
- Click the Your Entire Screen tab.
- Click the thumbnail of the image on your screen.

- The screen is being shared when you see the conference window appearing like a series of reflected mirrors.

- Switch to the first file you wish to present. If it is PowerPoint, play the slideshow and present as usual – with Presenter View off, as noted above.
- To stop sharing your screen:
- Firefox
- Click the button in the hover bar, at the top of the screen, that looks like a Firefox icon.

- This will return you to the Canvas Conferences browser window. Click the Share Screen icon at the bottom right.

- Google Chrome

- When the instructor makes a different student the presenter, it will automatically stop your screen from being shared.
