The room/password structure is easier for a lot of folks to navigate than a Skype or Zoom meeting link - we generally just link to our BBB landing page and let meeting attendees know which room to join in the meeting invite. BBB also smoothly handles meetings with multiple remote locations, which we run into often, and audio is generally fine to great. We also use Canvas as our LMS, so the integration for faculty and students to use BBB through Canvas conferences is a huge plus. The presenter tools are intuitive and helpful.

Audio does sometimes have hiccups, usually when multiple people are talking at once. Recordings unfortunately don't include the screen-share component of the live meeting, and as a presenter you're limited to sharing PDFs (PowerPoint slides, for instance, have to be converted before or during uploading).

We have use last six month BBB. Very beautiful GUI and Video conference platform for my company. Video recording, whiteboard and private chat is very nice tool. BBB is not only education platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

BigBlueButton is a web-based application for visual communication and all of its features work perfectly for increasing meeting productivity. It delivers high quality for sound and video and make our visual communication easier for us. Sharing attachments is another great feature and lets me share any type of information with my clients. Screen sharing let me share my screen with others and the whiteboard feature is very helpful for highlighting important points. It integrates really well with third-party applications and automate our meetings and conferences in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BigBlueButton is a good application for attending and hosting meetings but the user interface not as simple as compare to other trending applications for communication. It doesn't perform well on the slow bandwidth of the internet. Customer service doesn't respond fast to solve our facing issues, so it needs more updates for serving big companies.

During the courses, sometimes the voice of the participants or the teacher can be lost. It comes back when you refresh the page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product works great across various computer platforms and we use this in a blended class environment with both in-class and online learners. The HTML5 client is so much more stable than the Flash version (of course that was a Flash issue). The support team are highly responsive and keep us apprised of developments. We also like that BBB is integrated with both our academic and corporate type LMSs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only that it has fewer layout options than the previous version - but this impacts only 1 use case for us out of many use cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the feel and how user friendly it is. I like the themes and colors, and the ability to personalise some features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The connection is not very estable, and there are problems with mics and board tools, which are essential for my classes, and even with the presentation itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to use, offers a lot of features, integrates in Canvas very well, and the developers are very friendly and hands on with their customers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, very little if anything. I use it all the time and have successfully trained others on how to use it. If anything, maybe additional features, but they are constantly adding them over time so that's a positive thing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
