Limit of simultanous whiteboard user

[Reimar Bauer]

Hi there,

Just in the session we recognized that the amount of simultaneous whiteboard users is limited to 25.
Is this a fixed number or can it be altered?

best regards
Reimar

Hi!

The configuration is located here: https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/v3.0.14/bigbluebutton-html5/private/config/settings.yml#L1060

You could overwrite it via /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml (and bbb-conf --restart).

Depending on how powerful your server is and how intense your participants are, feel free to change the number.

Note that if you've changed other configs, for example maxNumberOfAnnotations, you may want to stay vigilant.

Also note, we've done some performance enhancements (of the cursor) in BBB 3.0.14 that we are monitoring. If all is well, we aim to propagate similar enhancements to the annotations too and might* bump the default value.
