Hi guys,


anybody here using matrix with bbb?

Our research only shows some old solutions, that do not work anylonger -
is there a up to date integration of bbb in matrix to open calls / rooms
straight out of a matrix chat?


thanks for any hints


cheers

Martin

Hi there,

I am working on replacing the Chat with Matrix. But it is currently not really usable. :(
I can send you a message if there is anything in alpha. But I currently really do not have time for working on this feature. So I can not give you a timeline.

Thanks Lukas,

I am searching (mainly) for the opposite, a way to impliment BBB in matrix.

So you can open BBB sessions right out of a matrix chat.


Anyway, the matrix channel instead of the bbb chat inside a session also is interesting - so yes, please update me on any success you have with that.


cheers

Martin

Hi Thomas!

There is a widget[0] but that repository is not maintained anymore.

Did you try to use /addwidget to add a Greenlight-URL to a room? This
should basically open Greenlight (and then BigBlueButton) in an iframe
in your Element-client.

I didn't try it but it was mentioned [1] in the issue tracker, that you
need allowRequestsWithoutSession=true so users are able to run BBB in an
iframe.

glg,
Matthias

Hi!

While not related to Matrix directly, there is https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/mattermost-plugin-bigbluebutton#usage which might give you some ideas for approaches/UX/etc
