BigBlueButton BN

Hi
I Try to use it on Moodle 4.4 Moodle version and it goes to the settings page with the error:
"Unable to enter the roohttps://moodle.org/plugins/mod_bigbluebuttonbn#m. Please check the URL of the BigBlueButton server AND check to see if the BigBlueButton server is running."
Going directly to the link https://test-moodle.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/ shows an error 404 not found.

Hi Pitor,
Thanks for you comments. Our mission for BigBlueButton is to build the world's most effective virtual classroom as measured in learning outcomes. The integration for BigBlueButton merged into the core of Moodle in Moodle 4.0.
> 1. BBB is pretty much unintuitive;
BigBlueButton has many capabilities for teaching and learning. To become familiar, check out the tutorial videos at https://bigbluebutton.org/videos.
> 2. for people who are used to clicking links and going straight to a video chat, it takes a lot of effort to join a meeting in BBN. This is a common opinion, even among senior developers;
We are not a video chat; we are a virtual classroom. It's possible to configure BigBlueButton to come up with a simple video chat interface. If you want to purse this further, recommend joining our community https://bigbluebutton.org/community-support/.
> 3. it uses WebRT protocol which is blocked by most of business VPNs and security settings, hence, can't be used smoothly while working with, say, C-level managers;
BigBlueButton comes with a built-in TURN server to help users who are behind restrictive firewalls connect to WebRTC via port 443. You can test this on our demo server at https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/.
> 4. it is faster and more responsive than most popular paid solutions.
Thanks! The innovation and efforts behind BigBlueButton is accelerating in 2024. Look out for a newer version later this year that has a plugin-in architecture to enable other developers to customize it (and we intend to use the plugin-in architecture to deepen the integration with Moodle).
> Anyway, thanks for your work and effort guys,

Thanks for you feedback.

Hi,
As much as I appreciate the work of devs, and making it opensource, here are some remarks for those who search for opensource business tier service:
1. BBB is pretty much unintuitive;
2. for people who are used to clicking links and going straight to a video chat, it takes a lot of effort to join a meeting in BBN. This is a common opinion, even among senior developers;
3. it uses WebRT protocol which is blocked by most of business VPNs and security settings, hence, can't be used smoothly while working with, say, C-level managers;
4. it is faster and more responsive than most popular paid solutions.
Anyway, thanks for your work and effort guys,
Piotr

The above implementation of 4.2.2 works fine, but on another implementation of the same Moodle version it goes to the settings page with the error:
"Unable to enter the room. Please check the URL of the BigBlueButton server AND check to see if the BigBlueButton server is running."
Going directly to the link https://test-moodle.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/ shows an error 404 not found.

This is just to note that on Moodle 4.2.2 it is working well. How could I make it work on 4.2.1+? Thanks,

Hi,
I believe BigBlueButtonBN plugin has already been included and installed in latest versions of Moodle, specifically version 4.2.1+ which I am using, so it only needs to enable it in activities management page, first it was not enabled, but after checking and saving settings, I was able to enable it. In the settings, it is already configured and I believe nothing to do to test it.
After adding the activity in a course and whenever I click on the activity to view it, it show the main plugin setting page and not showing the activity itself at all.
Could you tell me what's going wrong? Is it the connection to the testing server? Or something I can do in Moodle?
Thanks a lot,

Can the recorded videos, be sent to Google Drive rather than my Moodle data repository?

Hi Srinvas, the Free Tier is limited to 60 minutes (it's free!). There are options: you can reach out to any of the companies that provide commercial support https://bigbluebutton.org/commercial-support/. You can also setup your own BigBlueButton server. Regards,... Fred

Hello,
It was pleasure to know about BBB plugin in Moodle. I experienced a best quality access. Right now I'm working on default BBB
feature in Moolde 4.1, unfortunately I came to know the duration was 60 minutes. I'm looking for 120 minutes duration to
educate my learners. Can I extend the duration? Please let me know the configuration settings. Appreciate your response. Thank You!

* know the configuration settings....
