"BigBlueButton strikes a great balance between secure and collaboration enabling smooth teamwork"
What do you like best about BigBlueButton?

When needed, the online resources and user community have been helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigBlueButton?

The platform is reliable, user-friendly and self–sufficient in terms of security, we’ve experienced no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Open Code game changer."
What do you like best about BigBlueButton?

BBB has improved its services and the quality of the voice and video sharing dramatically after the pandemic. Because it is an open code resource app, modifications and betterment are easily doable. Screen sharing does not cause voice lags as is the case with one of the most prominent apps in the field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigBlueButton?

It is usable on any browser, which can be a plus and a minus at the same time. A pc app would better help maybe. Screen sharing is done smoothly but one cannot see the webcam or chat area when working on another screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The limitation of users is the biggest problem of BugBlueButton server. Even provident the hardware the maximum user limit is 200 participants. It should be removed.

Server installation is really very difficult. Fixing the issue waste the day and nights of administrators Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best videoconference software"

BigBlueButton is the best web conferencing programming intended to help businesses share video content. Key highlights incorporate an intuitive whiteboard, surveying, emoticons, meeting recording, constant telecom, screen sharing, virtual study halls and breakout rooms.

What do you dislike about BigBlueButton?

Nothing to dislike about it. I'd wish the the WordPress integration to be more user-friendly, both the frontend interface and the backend admin. I think it would be much easier to have its options better described in frontend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"BigBlueButton is "Aiiiight""
What do you like best about BigBlueButton?

The BigBlueButton app provides their users the capability to join in on discussions using only their audio speakers and a personal microphone or built-in microphone to participate in the conversations. Additionally, there is a chat box in case the users either don't have a microphone or do not feel like talking or utilizing their microphones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigBlueButton?

I feel like other apps such as Zoom provide more options and versatility than BigBlueButton, which is too simple to the point where there isn't a whole lot about it that makes it stand out from it's competitors. It needs a unique feature that sets it apart from the rest, perhaps something like, for example, adding background music to the audio (just as an idea). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best online teaching, video conferencing tool"
What do you like best about BigBlueButton?

The best thing about big blue button is the fact that students can use it without having to pay anything, as far as I know the only paid version has to be by the main account. At least that's how it was when we were using it with college, at the time the lockdown crysis started and this all was new. An awesome feature is the fact that you can view screenshare and the students have the ability to draw and type on the screen the professor shared, given the professor allows it in the software during the call. The audio and video is very clear, there are probably a lot more features to mention but I didn't get to experience them all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BigBlueButton?

About disliking big blue button, I personally have not found anything wrong with it and can't complain since, like I mentioned, I didn't pay a dime for it and got it for free while my college was the company behind the licences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
