Join a conference
After you begin a conference, course and group members can join your session.
-
Click Conferences.
-
Click the conference Title.
-
Members can only join sessions with a status of In Progress, which indicates that the Admin has started the session.
-
Members of courses with linked sections can join the same conference when accessing the Conferences app on the course menu.
-
Admins in schools with Premium BigBlueButton licenses may also invite guests into a session via an invite URL.
The Conferences app is not supported in the Schoology iOS app. To access Conferences on a mobile device or tablet, use Schoology in a mobile browser.
End a conference
To end the conference, the course or group admin must select End Conference within Schoology. Participants can exit a conference by closing the browser.
Conferences saves recorded sessions for 7 days. To review a recorded session during this time, select the Completed tab within the app and click Play.
-
Users in schools with Premium Tier BigBlueButton licenses do not have the 7-day limitation and may access recorded sessions at any time after they are posted. Premium Tier organizations can also download conference recordings.
-
It may take several minutes after the conference has ended for recordings to display in the Completed area. During periods of high usage, recording processing may take longer. All recordings are typically available within 24 hours.
To delete an Active or Completed conference, click the gear icon for a conference and select Delete.
