Hi Vel,

Are you logging in as a viewer or moderator?  In Moodle, students login as viewers (they can share their webcam, audio, and chat), whereas all other users in a Moodle course login as moderators.

For more information on how BigBlueButton works with Moodle, see

  https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=mod_bigbluebuttonbn

(There is a video at the above link).   For differences between moderator/presenter and viewer, see

  http://bigbluebutton.org/videos/

Regards,... Fred

Hi Vel,

> My question is can i remove webcam options in bigbluebutton for both moderator and viewer

You have two options.  

1.  BigBlueButton API

You can extend the Moodle integration (programming required) to use BigBlueButton's dynamic config.xml -- specificially, the getDefaultConfigXML and setDefaultConfigXML calls.  See

  https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/API#getDefaultConfigXML

and for a demo see

  http://demo.bigbluebutton.org/demo/demo12.jsp

This will let you enable/disable webcam on a per-user basis.

2.  Edit config.xml

If you have access to the BigBlueButton server, and want to disable the webcam for all users, you  can edit the config.xml

  https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/ConfigurationFiles#BigBlueButton_Client_(Flash)

and comment out the VideoconfModule
