Hello,

I want to use avatars for users in conference room and I am wondering, if it is possible in BigBlueButton 2.3.8 or/and in Greenlight 2.9. If yes, in which file should I look for the enabling this.

Best regards,

Ioanna

Hi,

BigBlueButton has avatar support since early days of v2.3... not sure about GreenLight. As far as I know it does not.

From the old issues I came around at GL repository looks like they do not store avatar images so they avoid using

them as avatar for the live sessions.

I hope some GL developer could add more details to this answer.

We use moodle for front end, and BBB up to 2.3.8, but avatars are no supported.

I guess the same for the Moodle plugin, then. The avatar is defined by any front-end when they build the user's join API call.

Teachers and students do have profile picture/avatar, but it has never been passed to BBB for all releases...
