Canvas - How do I upload files to a conference as a presenter in a student group?
As a presenter, you can add individual documents or presentations to a conference. You can also upload multiple files and show different files during the presentation.
Moderators are most often the presenter, but presenters can also be participants who are invited to be a presenter, such as a participant invited to be a guest speaker. Moderators can allow any participants to be a presenter at any time.
Note:File uploads should be PDF files. However, BigBlueButton converts World documents or PowerPoint presentations to a PDF file. If your presentation has animations (visual or audio), they will not be converted.
