Hi Mr. Simo,

Great question! There are actually several video conferencing plugin integrations available. Although there may be others, Big Blue Button comes to mind. A Big Blue Button plugin is open source and has an integration plugin available for Moodle. It is typically hosted on your own server - like Moodle.

I have actually used it with Android devices using Chrome web browser. I am not sure if iOS support is available yet however there may be an app for iOS. I don't believe that the Moodle Mobile Client currently includes integrated support for Big Blue Button or any other video conference/whiteboard activities yet.

You can try out the integration by signing up for a free MoodleCloud account. Each account includes integration with Big Blue Button for up to 5 people.

Alternatively, you could simply create a label, page or URL resource in your course and insert a link to your BBB session. For example, try out BBB on their demo site using the following link:

https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/b/meetings/MoodleDiscussion

This approach would probably work as well for many other video conferencing applications like Jitsi that meets your requirements.

Hope you find this information helpful.

Best regards,

Michael Milette
