Hello everyone,

I am trying to replace BigBlueButton favicon and browser's tab title following documentation links https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/admin/customize.html#change-favicon and https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/admin/customize.html#change-title-in-the-html5-client.

Specifically:

- For the favicon I replaced the file favicon.ico in path /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/favicon.ico

- For the browser title I changed the file settings.yml in path /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings.yml as it is shown below:

public:

app:

...

clientTitle: myBrowserTitle

Also, I changed the <title> tag in index.html file in path /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/index.html

After changes i did bbb-conf --restart.

Unfortunately, they didn't work.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

have you tried to clear cache of your browser? to ensure the favicon is already replaced open your-bbb-domain.com/favicon.ico

Yes, I have cleared the cache of my browser and the favicon is already replaced when I open domain.com/favicon.ico
Unfortunately, the favicon still doesn't appear.

Thanks for your response

For the favicon, I found a way which works also with the current BBB 2.6.x and Greenlight v3 and should survive even updates of BBB.

I added favicon.nginx to /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx:

location = /favicon.ico {
alias /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/favicon/favicon.ico;
}

and created the directory and copied the favicon.ico to the path above.

That way, this favicon is delivered for both Greenlight and BBB.

If you want greenlight to have a different favicon and browser title then the BBB server.,

copy application.html.erb to /root/greenlight

modify top of file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Your tile</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://your.domain/faviconGL.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

and add this to docker-compose under -volumes

- ./application.html.erb:/usr/src/app/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

docker compose down

docker compose up -d

Regards,

Stephen

Guess it would be useful if the 2.6 / Greenlight v3 documention would reflect this as the pre 2.6 methods do not work anymore.

HI Andrewas,

> Guess it would be useful if the 2.6 / Greenlight v3 documentation would reflect this as the pre 2.6 methods do not work anymore.

Pull requests are (more than) welcome to our docs!

We recently updated the docs to use Docusaraus to make it easier to version and for others to contribute.

When the community helps out with the docs, it frees up time for the core developers to work more on BigBlueButton itself :-).

Regards,.. Fred
