BigBlueButton for Moodle lets instructors create live virtual classrooms directly inside a Moodle course. You can use it to host lectures, office hours, group discussions, and recorded sessions without leaving the LMS.

​
What you can do

  • Create a BigBlueButton activity inside a course
  • Configure room behavior such as recording and waiting for moderators
  • Schedule sessions with open and close times
  • Upload presentations ahead of time
  • Manage recordings after the session ends
  • Control access with groups, roles, and guest settings

Key concepts

​
Activity types

The Moodle integration can be used in different ways depending on the activity type and recording settings. A course may use a live room, a room with recordings, or a recording-focused activity.

​
Recordings

Processed recordings appear under the activity where they were created or were imported. Depending on permissions and settings, teachers can edit names and descriptions, publish or unpublish links, and control access.

​
Groups

When Moodle groups are enabled, BigBlueButton can create a separate room experience per group. That changes how the join flow works for both students and teachers.
