Activities: BigBlueButtonBN
BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning. The goal of the project is to enable instructors to live online classes, virtual office hours, and group collaboration with remote students. BigBlueButton is open source.
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.
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/.

What is the difference between a test server and a commercial version?
I made an update from 2.1.4 to 2.2.4 on my Moodle 3.1.13 and I had this error :
Fatal error: Class 'mod_bigbluebuttonbn\settings\renderer' not found in /var/www/my_moodle_path/mod/bigbluebuttonbn/settings.php on line 35
Any idea?
Thanks,
Patrick
