What is Pronto?

Pronto is a communication hub that can be accessed in the left-hand navigation bar in Canvas. It connects you with your instructor and fellow students via chat and video.

Please note that not all classes/instructors use Pronto. Your instructor will let you know if they will be using Pronto.
