Bigbluebutton html5 screenshare chrome extension key, links

[Harshit Laddha]

Hi, 

I was trying to update the bbb-html5 conf to include the screenshare extension url as currently it asks to download an extension while starting screenshare, but the extension is unavailable since I haven't added its path to the meteor conf here at - 

/usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings-production.json 

So, I found this block here in this conf - 

"kurento": {
      "wsUrl": "wss://eclassroom1.urtutors.com/bbb-webrtc-sfu",
      "chromeExtensionKey": "KEY",
      "chromeExtensionLink": "LINK",
      "enableScreensharing": true,
      "enableVideo": true
    },

But the only documentation relating to screenshare I found was this - https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/tree/master/bbb-screenshare

So,  I couldn't figure out how to get the key & link are for the screensharing extension. 

Can anyone here suggest how to build / find the screensharing plugin's (key, url) for Bigbluebutton html5 build

While trying out these edits, I accidentally override my settings-production, settings-development in default bbb-html5 & restarted the service.
Now, when I copied my files I forgot to replace the default values in this block - 

"media": {
  "WebRTCHangupRetryInterval": 2000,
  "vertoServerAddress": "https://127.0.0.1:8082",
  "freeswitchProfilePassword": "1234",
  "vertoPort": "8082",
  "useSIPAudio": true,
  "stunTurnServersFetchAddress": "/bigbluebutton/api/stuns",
  "mediaTag": "#remote-media",
  "callTransferTimeout": 5000,
  "callHangupTimeout": 2000,
  "callHangupMaximumRetries": 10,
  "echoTestNumber": "9196"
},

Can anyone tell what are expected to be the default values & where can I find them in my existing setup 

for these meteor configuration options in settings-production.json

Hey Harshit,

Please follow these instructions to create a Google Chrome Extension containing the domains you want whitelisted:

You can find the default values in the source code: https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/master/bigbluebutton-html5/private/config/settings-production.json
Just copy them over in your /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings-production.json  and restart bbb. Alternatively you could update/reinstall bbb-html5 package to start with the default values.

I hope that helps!

I knew I would find the static config in the github branch.
I was looking for the source for settings like - 

"vertoServerAddress": "HOST",

in the settings-production.json config. How / where do I find such variables.

So, for example in this particular case I found vertoServerAddress in my /etc/bigbluebutton/nginx/verto.nginx

as proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8082;

so, I was wondering if any of you guys have access to any internal documentation which could help out in better the overall configuration & architecture. In the docs.bigbluebutton very little regarding this [a total of 2 reference images If I am not mistaken] are present there. This could help a lot in giving a better view of the whole ecosystem.

Hi Harshit,

There is no internal documentation for BigBlueButton -- it's all at http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/.  The HTML5 client is under (very) active development and we're adding documentation to the site during the development. 

I'll let Anton follow-up with more information.

Regards,... Fred

understood @fred, 

The new HTML5 client looks very promising.
You guys have done great work so far & because of it.
we have our working prototype to start with in a very short span of time. 

One question though, I saw there were draggable panels in flash client, & the same layout configuration options inside html5 client. 
But, the layout was still fixed only all modules in my setup. Are these changes in development for html5 client 

[If yes, can you please provide me with a issue link, commit id, pull request so that I can add those changes to my dev setup & test new stuff]

We do not plan to implement draggable panels in the HTML5 interface.  This interface is designed for mobile first (try it on an Android or iOS 11+ device) and, in general, mobile clients do not have draggable windows.  The HTML5 design adapts as the screen area shrinks/grows.  That said, we are working on swapping the webcams with the presentation area so if a user is more interested in webcams they can see those larger.  See
