Moodle lets you schedule a BigBlueButton activity with specific open and close times.

​
What scheduling does

Scheduling effectively controls when users can enter the room. This is different from Wait for moderator:
  • Wait for moderator delays entry until a moderator arrives
  • scheduling can block entry before the room opens or after it closes

​
Configure schedule settings

  1. Open the activity settings.
  2. Expand the schedule section.
  3. Enable the schedule options you want.
  4. Set a start time, an end time, or both.
  5. Save the activity.
Open the schedule section for the activity Schedule configuration options in Moodle

​
Common patterns

You can configure:
  • a start time only
  • an end time only
  • both a start and end time

​
What users see

Before the room opens, enrolled users will not see the join button. Instead, Moodle shows that the conference has not started yet. Once the room is open, invited users can join until the close time. After that, the join option is no longer available. Scheduled session shown in the Moodle calendar Users see the session has not started yet before opening time Users can join once the session is open

​
Calendar behavior

When a session is scheduled, it can also appear in the course calendar view.
