What is BigBlueButton?
BigBlueButton is open-source web conferencing software developed specifically for teaching, training and webinars. It offers video, audio, screen sharing, whiteboard, polls, breakout rooms, shared notes and recording.
Typical use cases
- Training and further education with interactive elements.
- Webinars with questions and polls.
- Teaching at educational institutions with connection to learning platforms such as Moodle.
- Workshops with group work in breakout rooms.
Benefits and limits
The software is designed for teaching and can be run on your own infrastructure. It needs more server resources and planning than lean solutions, and capacity should be tested before important events. For short meetings a simpler solution such as Jitsi is often enough.
