  • The service is hosted at I-MATH.
  • As long as our Y27 uplink is not saturated, we can create additional instances - we should not have performance problems.
  • The sound seems to be quite well.

  • BigBlueButton seems to be a 90% replacement of Adobe Connect, plus 'Break Out Rooms'.

  • Publish the URL (on the lecture homepage, per email to the students).
    • There is no group permission - anyone who knows the meeting room URL might attend.

Audio check

FAQ

  • How many people watched the recording?
    • Currently we do not have any statistics (#10353, #10354) - we're looking to implement a statistic.
  • How does the students find the recordings?
    • Conferences started via w3/my: The recordings will be listed on the homepage automatically.
    • Conferences started individually: The lecturer/tutor has to publish the 'room' link. It's the same link as the students use to join the conference.
  • How to save the chat
    • Menu (three vertical dots), in chat windows, upper right corner: save
    • The chat content is gone after closing the meeting.
  • How to export the annotations of the whiteboard
    • Currently: not possible (#10352). We're looking for solution.
