This integration provides the following features:

Share guest link Share the room link with all your guests

🚀 Install it

The easiest way to install this app is by using the Nextcloud app store. If you like to build from source, please continue reading.

To install it change into your Nextcloud's apps directory:

cd nextcloud/apps

Then run:

git clone https://github.com/sualko/cloud_bbb.git bbb

Then install the dependencies using:

make build

⚙️ Configure it

Get your BBB API url and secret by executing sudo bbb-conf --secret on your BBB server.

$ sudo bbb-conf --secret

    URL: https://bbb.your.domain/bigbluebutton/
    Secret: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345679

    Link to the API-Mate:
    https://mconf.github.io/api-mate/#server=https://...

Enter these values in the additional settings section on the admin configuration page of your Nextcloud instance.

Create your first room

Go 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
