Conferences created to be long running (no end time) can be edited manually to include late registrants.

If a Canvas BigBlueButton Conference activity has already been created and students are registered to the course at a later date they can be manually added to the Conference activity. Note: This only applies to long running conferences; conferences that are in progress or have concluded can not be edited.
