Hi All,
I have installed BigBlueButton plugin into my Moodle Lms Site. Configure with BigBlueButton test server
( url: http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/) its working fine. Here my question is
How many days i can use this test server?
Is there any limitation for using this?
Hi JF,
Really thanks.Hi JF,
I have ubuntu 17.04 server, Is it enough to install the BigBluebutton?
But i got the error while installation
Please find my error
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bigbluebutton : Depends: bbb-config but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I was tried manual installation for bbb-config its also failed for dependencies of bbb-playback-presentation
Then i tried bbb-playback-presentation, Its also failed for tomcat7
Then tried tomcat7
please find error log below
Package tomcat7 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'tomcat7' has no installation candidate
Please suggest some solution regarding this
Hi there,
There is no official packaging for Ubuntu 17.04 and there won't be. You can find multiple references to Ubuntu 16.04 as the only way to get it to work through packaging in the official documentation: http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/install/install.html
--------------------------
We (the core developers) have designed, developed, installed, and tested BigBlueButton 1.1 on Ubuntu: 16.04 64-bit (Xenial Xerus). That’s what we recommend you use. We have not tested BigBlueButton 1.1 on any other version of Ubuntu (or Linux).
Why the focus on Ubuntu 16.04? It’s a choice of quality over quantity. Long ago we concluded that its better for the project to have solid, well-tested, well-documented installation for a specific version of Linux that works really, really well than to try and support may OS and have none of them work well.
--------------------------Thanks for the clarification
Thanks,

I successfully install BigBlueButton in my machine and configured. My ubuntu server is 16.04 what you recommended.
I got the home page when browse my host name in browser 
but when page is not loading when join the session
Please guide me for resolve this.
Thanks.

Hi there,
My rough guess is that you may have issues either with blocked ports of FreeSWITCH, but for both you will need to do some more diving into Ubuntu itself.
If you execute
bbb-conf --check
You'll have a better idea of what is going on. The documentation is actually pretty good. Did you check there? There are several troubleshooting tips you may find useful.
As this is not a Moodle issue related I would recommend you to go to the bigbluebutton forums and do a search or ask there. There are tons of posts pointing to similar problems and also hundreds of people (either sysadmins or bbb developers) who can respond to these kind of issues faster.

Hi JF,
This is my output for after run the bbb-conf --check
# Error: Unable to connect to port 1935 (RTMP) on IP
# Warning: You are running BigBlueButton on a server with less than 4G of memory. Your
# performance may suffer.
# Warning: The API demos are installed and accessible from:
#

# These API demos allow anyone to access your server without authentication

How can i enable port 1935 RTMP
thanks
How does the presenter (teacher) send the meeting link to an attendee
(student) after the session has started ? This is standard functionality
for most Web conferencing systems.
If you post here, i suppose that you use Moodle to access BigBlueButton.
In this case, the teacher creates a BigBlueButton activity in his course, and the students just have to go to this activity to connect
No need to send anything, it's integrated

Hi Greg,
I am afraid that there is no shared link on BBB. Not in the open source version anyways.
And the Moodle integration doesn't include anything that can be considered as a workaround. Moodle users have to have access to the activity in Moodle for joining the session.

Our school uses http://distancelearning.cloud for our dedicated BBB production server. They provide shared and dedicated BigBlueButton Servers, and have service globally.
They work with Moodle.Cloud, Moodle.School, and all versions of self-hosted Moodle.
A teacher can install a live class session in their course without needing admin rights. There's also permanent recording storage available.
