Server-side extensions for BBB videoconferencing tool
BigBlueButton is a widely used free and open source conferencing tool. This project will create a server-side extension mechanism for BBB, which would allow additional functionality to be exposed. Third-party applications such as for instance a Learning Management System like Moodle, can then request that BigBlueButton send a POST request with credentials to connect back when a room is created - meaning it can access real-time session data, process it, and interact dynamically with the session.
Run by Executive Director, BigBlueButton Foundation
