Then run:
git clone https://github.com/sualko/cloud_bbb.git bbb
Then install the dependencies using:
make build
⚙️ Configure it
find out your BBB secrets by '''sudo bbb-conf --secret'''
enter these secrets in the BigBlueButton settings on the general configuration page of your NC
Create your first room
Got to the BigBlueButton section inside your personal settings page and enter a room name. That's it. You can now distribute the room url.
Enter a room from files
Use the ... menu and select the desired BBB configuration to enter the room. Beware that if the room is already running the presentation will not be updated.
Troubleshooting
- before installing, make sure your BBB is running correctly
- if no session opens with the ... menu of files, but a session opens in the general configuration page, look at your browser console. It will show a well hidden complaint that for sharing always a password is required. If this is the case, remove that requirement in sharing / enforce password.
- if the room doesn't appear in the ... menu of files, a browser/cache reload might help
