Frequently Asked Questions about BBB Plugin

Currently, we ensure a capacity of 300 participants for a single meeting. However, it can be more as there is no strict limit. It is essential to consider that BigBlueButton is designed for education and interaction. Therefore, it is not advisable to have too many participants connected unless their involvement is non-interactive, as it may negatively affect the user experience.

BigBlueButton stores recordings in a special format that allows viewing exclusively from the cloud. By default, the original BigBlueButton format is enabled.

As long as you don’t exceed the total number of users online at the same time (simultaneous users), you can organize an unlimited amount of online meetings.
