# Ending a Conference in Canvas

> Instructors and moderators can end a Canvas Conference either from the Canvas Conferences page or from within the BigBlueButton meeting interface.

You can end a Conference two ways: [from the Canvas Conferences page](#end-a-conference-from-canvas) or [from the BigBlueButton meeting interface](#end-a-conference-from-bigbluebutton).

When you create a Conference in Canvas, you can give it a time limit, or check **No time limit (for long-running conferences)** to keep it open.
