I've been waiting for this, and it looks like it just dropped:


Is there a discussion thread for this specific item?  I am launching a service where this will be utilized by thousands, and thus am very interested in some of the details.

Any knowledge on whether or not it will be added to Element web and Element android, or only X flavor?

Does the 3.0.0 alpha-6 contain this?  Can you tell me which build of Element you are using that includes it for testing?  Ideally it will be element web.

Will it notify the room when the meeting ends and when the recording is available?

Thank you guys for the outstanding work!

I've posted on the YouTube video comments and here in the dev group three times but haven't received any response -- am I doing something wrong?  Am I asking in the wrong place?  This Element + BBB integration is critical to us, I could really use a helping hand.

Hi,

if nobody has posted a response then most likely nobody can give you further information.
After seeing the video this seems like a very early release. I wouldn't expect this feature to be available to the public, both admins and (external) developers.
BBB 3 has still a long way to go, so I would suggest you just sit tight and wait, like the rest of us.

Regards,
J.

I do not see any comments on the linked video. Also, you may be asking
in the wrong community. This is not really a BBB feature, it's an
Element feature. Timos shirt could have been a hint where to find him.
He is not active in this mailing list. Did you try to contact him directly?

Hi Marcel,

Your posting to the right place, and glad your interested in the integration. It's a work in progress with the Element team, see


We did an initial prototype at the BigBlueButton Developer Summit in Brazil last month.  While the result was very promising, we don't have any timeline yet for release.

Are you able to help?  How good is your skill developing in BigBlueButton or Element? 

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred,

This could interest some peoples... I know that severals organizations have to move from RocketChat due to licences costs (not anymore a real OSS as we can't use it without licences) and Element is a good solution to replace it.

On my side we are begining on installing Element, and the question to integrate on BBB will come.

If you can share a starting point some peoples may help at their own means.

Thanks

Julien Gribonvald

We specifically are coming from RocketChat, which is why this is really a hot issue for us.  I am new to Matrix and Element, and BBB for that matter, but am a quick study.  Just learning who the key people are and hopefully how to reach them so we can bring this feature to market, and ensure it includes some necessary features.

In addition to the video you linked to, there is also this:

According to the last TWIM post (This Week in Matrix) the code for demo
is here: https://github.com/toger5/bbb-matrix-widget

happy hacking! :)

Do you think that could be backported to the last released BBB version ?

Thanks

Hi Julien,

> Do you think that could be backported to the last released BBB version ?

There is work ahead to get it into BigBlueButton 3.0.  

Also, we are an open source project with companies actively working on this.  We are open to any organization that wants to fund acceleration of the integration with BigBlueButton and Matrix.  Please reach out to me at ffdixon .at. bigbluebutton .dot. org if you want to help out.

Regards,... Fred
