We are pleased to announce BigBlueButton 3.0.0-alpha.3!

In this iteration we have continued to improve the new GraphQL related core components. Various client side fixes are also included. Find a detailed list of the pull requests in this iteration, grouped by component in the release notes.

Note that BigBlueButton 3.0-dev runs on Ubuntu Jammy (22.04). We recommend installing on a clean server rather than upgrading from 2.7 -- see https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/3.0/administration/install#upgrading-from-bigbluebutton-26-or-27
Note that `bbb-presentation-video` package is not provided yet. It needs updates to work correctly with tldral v2.
Note that Transifex does not yet have a BigBlueButton Client 3.0 project. It will be added before beta.1 version. The strings are still in being modified too often to upload them.

Link to installation command / instructions/ features : https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/3.0/new-features

Hey,
any idea when live streaming will be included ? I heard it would be included in 3.0.
Thanks,

Hi!
Could you elaborate about the live streaming use case please.

Hi Aman,

>  any idea when live streaming will be included ? I heard it would be included in 3.0.

Who did you hear this from :-).

There is no live streaming solution planned for inclusion in 3.0.  We have other goodies coming


Regards,... Fred

Hi Martin,

> I think you took the live streaming as an example for the upcoming plugins once ;-)

It might have been a general reference, but the complexities of capturing a BigBlueButton session would require an external system to capture (such as logging in as an external user in browser, capturing the screen for streaming, and connecting to a remote RTMP streaming service).

Such a system may use the plug-in as a way of gathering information from the user (such as the RTMP endpoint) and starting/stopping the stream, but the plugin could only help with the UI.  All the heavy lifting of joining/capture/streaming/managing the stream would need to be done by a separate infrastructure.

yes, right. I just wanted to clarify, why someone may have thought, that the live streaming could be included in v3.

There are several examples how to do the LS beside the one we had brought up in the past.


e.g. Lukas wrote this on this list:

Hi,

I built a prototype on the last developer summit which allows you to start/stop/view livestreams of a given meeting with API-Calls and a docker container.
There is a plan to implement this prototype with the new plugin-architecture coming in 3.x that also a moderator/presentator can do this in the GUI.

cheers
