Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
This extension adds a module in the back office to manage a bigbluebutton server. With this extension you can list current meetings, add a user to a meeting, close the meeting, list participants of meetings and create meetings
BigBlueButton is a videoconferencing open source project (see more : http://bigbluebutton.org/ )
This extension provides a bigbluebutton API for TYPO3 based on bbb_api.php examples. We just add constants in the extension manager and add tests based on localconf variables.
Users manual¶
The default screen (second screenshot) of the module shows all existing meetings of the bigbluebutton server. Here you will be able to :
- close a meeting (all participants will be logged out from bigbluebutton)
- add a participant (moderator or attendee) and send him an email with a link to join the meeting
- show all online users in the meeting with their id, name and role.
The second item in the select box menu allows you to create a meeting room. You must fill these fields :
- moderator name
- moderator password
- meeting name (must be unique, bigbluebutton returns an error if not)
- meeting welcome message
You will be able to add participants directly in this form. To do this you have to fill the name of the participant, you can add his email and check if he must be alerted by email.

After installation, you have to fill some variables in the extension manager.

Known problems¶
Sometimes, calling bigbluebutton services return that meetings are not running (even if you are logged on server) - or there are no users in the meeting: it's generally because there are different versions of bbb-common-message.jar files on the bigbluebutton server:
- /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/lib/bbb-common- message-0.7.jar
- /usr/share/red5/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/lib/bbb-common- message-0.7.jar
