[ARCHIVED] Conferences Menu Option Removal

[arunion]

We are looking to comment out/remove the Conferences (Big Blue Button) option from our Canvas menu for all courses.

I found the sample Java Script below and this works fine for the desktop, however, when we tested on our phones, the option was still showing there. We updated the Desktop and Mobile App Javascript files using the same command but only the Desktop one seems to be working. Has anyone else been able to get this working for phones/the Mobile App?

This is the command we found and used (works for Desktop but not Mobile):
$("#section-tabs .conferences").parent().remove();

We need to remove it from our course menu as well (sadly).   The high volume of use causes errors, and we are forced to use another tool -- and the school district wants one consistent tool to be used....

Hi @arunion and @Hildi_Pardo - Whenever an item is not used by a teacher (or disabled in the navigation menu), it shouldn't be visible to students. How do I manage Course Navigation links? 

If teachers disable the link, does it appear for students? Make sure to test this with a student account and not an admin/teacher account. The role will see it, even if it's disabled.

If you'd like to simplify the process for your teachers, you could always create a blank course with specific course settings -- navigation links, course settings, grading scheme -- and send it out to everyone as a blueprint. How do I enable a course as a blueprint course as an admin? 

I'm sorry I don't have insight with Java, but I hope this is helpful to the conversation.
