Changing your notification settings in Canvas

Accessing your course on Canvas Canvas

This video tutorial will show you how to customize your Canvas notification settings for all of your courses or individual course sites. 

You can personalize your notification preferences to determine which course activities you want to receive notifications for, how often you wish to be notified and which method you prefer (e.g., email or text message).

From your Account menu, select the Notifications link to access and edit your preferences (See Figure 1).
