The BBB activity seems to behave differently from any other Moodle activity in that its description:

  • can only be found under the "Show more..." link in the activity edits;
  • cannot be forced to display after entering the activity (the only possibility is to use the "Display description on course page" option, which consumes the course page space plus is really not the same and can be easily overlooked if the activity is entered from a link in e.g., Moodle 4's course-index side menu)
Any chance for the BBB activity description in Moodle to become more prominent / visible for Moodle users - on a par with any other activity type?

Many thanks.

Hi Przemek Kaszubski,
The issue with the activity description you mentioned is in fact a bug. The description is supposed to display on the activity view page by default (with display on course page being an addition). There's already a ticket that has been opened in CONTRIB for it, so the activity description will be more visible after the patch is merged.
