Uploaded presentations not showing after browser close

[Jason Sizemore]

I have searched the FAQ and Google, but can someone give me a answer on this:

I know that past uploaded slides stay in /var/bigbluebutton until cleaned out, But why when I upload a presentation log out of the session <client> close my browser and wait about 5 minutes that the past loaded presentation is not under the upload section any more. Is it tied to the actual room some how when it is cleared out that presentation is not there to be uploaded again even though it is still setting in /var/bigbluebutton.

Thanks for any information.

Hi Jason,

The BigBlueButton server does not remember anything between presentations.  This means the server does not support persistent rooms or ability to upload content for a session that starts at a later time.

The reason for this approach is it makes the server stateless and much easier to create.  Think of it like a web server: you don't have to tell your web server that you will be accessing a document tomorrow at 1PM.  You just access it and the server responds.

It's similar with BigBlueButton.  There is no user database in BigBlueButton, no pending requests database, no pre-uploaded slides database -- if fact there is no persistent database at all.

Regards,... Fred
