Moodle LMS – BigBlueButton now requires additional credentials for Free tier

-

Moodle LMS includes BigBlueButton – the open source web-conferencing tool in core to allow educators to host web-conferencing within their courses. By default, Moodle core offers a free tier plan through which you can use BigBlueButton for a maximum 25 users for an hour long meetings.

However, before the upcoming Moodle 4.4 release, Moodle HQ announced the change in the free tier plan of BigBlueButton in Moodle LMS. Earlier, the administrator just need to accept the data processing agreement to start using the free tier. With the new change coming in effect from April 22nd, all the Moodle users (including all previous Moodle versions) needs to get additional credentials from BigBlueButton to continue using the free plan.

New credentials can be obtained by via the “Blindside Networks Registration Portal” link. So, if you are using BigBlueButton Free plan you need to make sure to get the credentials to continue using the BBB activity in your Moodle course.

BigBlueButton offers built-in pedagogical tools, such as breakout rooms, multi-user whiteboard, smart slides, visual assessment, and polling to engage students in applied learning.

During live classes, BigBlueButton offers a live Learning Analytics Dashboard, providing insight into which students are struggling so you can give them feedback at the moment.
