What is BigBlueButton?
BigBlueButton (BBB) is a video conferencing system that offers a range of functions for holding online seminars and online meetings:

- Public chat or sending private messages to individual participants
- Collaborative whiteboard
- Surveys
How can I use it?
You can find BBB here.
The open source solution BigBlueButton was installed and configured by the Department of Computer Science. The service is connected to the directory service of h_da, so that a login to BigBlueButton is possible with the h_da user ID. Students can also find student study rooms here.
Tip: You can also use the h_da BigBlueButton rooms directly via Moodle. Add the BigBlueButton activity to a course. This eliminates the need to set up the room and students can join directly from Moodle without having to log in again.
