What is BigBlueButton?
BigBlueButton is open source virtual classroom software that enables you to bring engaging video webinar functionality to your LMS.
Its range of web conferencing functionality gives you all the tools you need to deliver real-time interactive video, audio, slides, whiteboards, chat and screen sharing. Simple controls make it easy for educators to engage directly with participants and invite guest speakers.
