BigBlueButtonBN
BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning. The goal of the project is to enable instructors to effectively engage remote students anywhere in the world. The project supports live online classes, virtual office hours, and group collaboration with remote students.
BigBlueButton supports real-time sharing of slides (including whiteboard), audio, video, chat, emojis, breakout rooms, and screen. It also record all content for later playback.
Like Moodle, BigBlueButton is open source. The BigBlueButton project was started in 2008 by Blindside Networks. In addition our work on BigBlueButton core, we created this BigBlueButtonBN Moodle plugin so you can fully leverage BigBlueButton's capabilities from within your Moodle site.
The BigBlueButtonBN plugin enables you to:- Create multiple activity links to online sessions within any course
- Restrict students from joining a session until a teacher (moderator) joins the session
- Launch BigBlueButton in a separate window
- Create a custom welcome message that appears at the top of the chat window when joining the session
- Specify join open/close dates for the session that appears in the Moodle's calendar
- Record a session
- Access and manage recordings
The best way to install is directly from moodle.org. For a video walkthrough of installing the plugin, click the image below
You’ll notice in the video that BigBlueButtonBN module comes pre-configured with a test BigBlueButton server, aptly called test-install.blindsidenetworks.com. This server is maintained by Blindside Networks maintains to help test your installation with BigBlueButton. Blindside Networks also develops and maintains the BigBlueButtonBN plugin.
For information on setting up your own BigBlueButton server, see http://bigbluebutton.org/.

BBB est un plugin très très appréciable.
Cependant, le paramétrage du plugin concerne essentiellement l'enregistrement ce qui n'est pas vraiment utile pour un usage courant.
En revanche, il serait intéressant de pouvoir bloquer ou débloquer les discussions publiques, privées et les notes.
Y a t-il un moyen ou une astuce pour réaliser ceci ?
Respectueusement,
Y a t-il un moyen de désactiver la salle d'attente ?
Respectueusement,
Hello,
Congratulations on the plugin.
I installed version 2.4 RC. The waiting room is automatically activated.
How to deactivate it ?
Respectfully,
Hello,
In version 2.4 RC, the parameter "
Lock Room Layout "has no effect.
The waiting room is always activated.
Respectfully,
we have a moodle-Server and an external BBB Server to use inside of moodle with this plugin.
We have noticed that we cannot upload a presentation to the BBB room in the moodle plugin in advance, but only after the room has been started. A search to find out what the reason for this could be was unsuccessful.
Can you help me, and tell me, if it is a problem wiht the plugin or the BBB-Server?
Notice: the server and the plugin are updated!
Regards, Birgit from Germany
does anybody know if there is a documentation of the fields in the table "bigbluebuttonbn" of the moodle-database? We would need this information for monitoring the plugin.
Thanks, Klaus
In February/21 some recordings were created. However, recently when accessing the course I found that one of them was not available.
In the "Playback" column the "Presention" link no longer appears.
By accessing the source code of the page you can find the "meeting id" (175293b3814b3744c804e478748c303cad942276-1614115795715)
What might have happened so this recording is no longer available for viewing?
Moodle 3.10.6+
BigBlueButtonBN v.2.4.4
Postgres v12
PHP v7.4
BigBlueButton Server v2.2.36

I have a problem with a recording that has been removed from one of my classes. I recorded a video and automatically posted it in my class. After a few days, the recording disappeared.
How to retrieve it?
