With this integration and the current OpenMeetings version 3.+ you can create different types of rooms and separated users in OpenMeetings with the access-level "SOAP-Only". The "SOAP-Only" user can do exactly what is needed to run the integration but nothing more. This does result in no need for any OpenMeetings Admin-User in the Moodle Module config! So you can better protect your OpenMeetings server from non-authorized access via the SOAP Gateway and no need to share confidential account data. "SOAP-Only" users can not login to OpenMeetings administration or manipulate user accounts via SOAP. OpenMeetings also supports access via https and ldap-/Active Directory- and OAuth2-Integration.

The latest OpenMeetings Moodle Module is for Moodle 3.2 and is compatible only with OpenMeetings version 3.2.x. It is recommended to update to the latest version of OpenMeetings.

Sample Video showing the installation of the Moodle Module and integration with new access level:

The features of the OpenMeetings Moodle Plugin:
- Openmeetings rooms can be displayed inside a Moodle course in a frame, in a new window or can occucy the entire window
- Secure "SOAP-Only" user access level (see documentation on top)
- 3 Moderation Types for Conference Rooms (Moodle admins, teachers and course creators are automatically a moderator):
Moderation Type A) Participants need to wait till the teacher enters the room
Moderation Type B) Participants can already start (first User in room becomes moderator)
Moderation Type C) Every participant is automatically moderator when he/she enters the room
- 3 Room Types (Conference, Interview & Webinar)
- New Flag "Allow Recording": You can set in the room configuration now a flag that controls if the recording button is available or not
- Moodle Module languages: German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Brazilian (OpenMeetings itself has around 30 languages)
- Clear and restructure conference creation form for Moodle moderators

We were unable to get this to work with OpenMeetings 3.1.4 - it failed with "invalid hash" whenever a user tried to enter a room. After downgrading to OpenMeetings 3.1.1, it works just fine using the exact same settings.
Either a breaking API change was introduced in OpenMeetings 3.1.2, 3.1.3 or 3.1.4, or we did something stupid.

Tested on Moodle 3.2 with PHP 5.6 using the OpenMeetings admin user.

Hello Elmer, Hello ob,

the issue with OpenMeetings Version 3.1.4, you described is known by the developer of OpenMeetings: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-1530
Please, don't use OM Version 3.1.4. Please use now the new released OM Version 3.1.5: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openmeetings-dev/201701.mbox/%3CCAJmbs8iubirv9rr4-Z-y5qhXCZ9+6jYqUUsMqVEw6BT5w_XuEw@mail.gmail.com%3E

Thanks & Greetings,

Hello All

I think that requiring PHP 7 in latest (2.0.0.6) version is unwise. Most of stable branches of Linux distros doesn't support it yet.

Hello All,
I agree with Łukasz Sanokowski. You should avoid requiring higher versions than those required by corresponding Moodle version.

Hello Łukasz, Hello Juan,

Hello All
Could someone confirm the requirement of PHP7.0 for OM3.2.1? Especially with connection to openmeetings-moodle-plugin. The readme.md file of that plugin (https://github.com/openmeetings/openmeetings-moodle-plugin) contain the following info:
##Requirements## PHP 7.0 or later, OpenMeetings 3.2.0 or later and Moodle 2.9 or later.
Is that correct ot its still possible to use older PHP for latest OM 3.2.1 and latest openmeetings-moodle-plugin ?
(ubuntu 14.04.5 with php 5.5.9-1)
Thanks,
Anton

Hello Anton,

it is still possible to use older PHP versions like PHP 5.5 or 5.6. We should change the Requirements info in the readme file.

Thanks & Greetings,
