From setup to first booking in minutes

Instructors set their availability once. Students book, get a calendar invite, and join a video call — all without leaving Canvas.

1

Set Your Availability

Add weekly recurring slots or one-time dates. Choose slot duration (15, 30, 60 min), max students per slot, location, and whether to use built-in video or a Zoom link.

2

Students Book a Slot

Students see a clean calendar view of available times, pick a slot, enter their topic, and confirm. Double-booking is prevented automatically.

3

Automatic Confirmation

Students receive a Canvas inbox message and an email with a .ics calendar attachment. The appointment lands in their calendar instantly.

4

Meet with Built-in Video

At the appointment time, both parties click Join. A private video room opens — no external accounts, no app downloads, no Zoom license required.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built specifically for Canvas instructors — not bolted-on from a generic scheduling tool.

📅

Flexible Scheduling

Set weekly recurring availability or one-off dates. Configure slot lengths and how many students can book the same slot for group office hours.

📹

Built-in Video Rooms

Each booking gets a private video room. No Zoom account needed. Instructor admits students from a lobby — auto or manual admit mode.

📆

Calendar Invites

Students get a .ics file attached to their confirmation email. One click adds the appointment to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar.

🔔

Smart Notifications

Choose Canvas inbox, email, or both. Booking confirmations and cancellations are sent automatically with all the details students need.

💬

In-Room Chat

A text chat panel runs alongside the video call — handy for sharing links, code snippets, or notes during the session.

🕐

Time-Gated Access

Video rooms open 5 minutes before the appointment and close 60 minutes after — no lingering rooms, no accidental early entry.

🚪

Lobby & Admit Control

With manual admit mode, students wait in a lobby until the instructor is ready. Instructors can see who's waiting and admit with one click.

📋

Booking Dashboard

Instructors see all upcoming appointments in one view. Students can see and cancel their own bookings. Full history available.

🔒

Canvas-Native Auth

Launches directly inside Canvas via LTI. No separate accounts, no passwords. Students and instructors are already authenticated.

📹
No Zoom Required

Built-in video — really built in
