Yes, you can setup freeswitch to listen externally, and have Skype
dial in direct to join any BBB session.

Skype allows you to assign a Skype handle, that

In order to get Skype to connect to your BBB server, BBB has to be
configured to allow external sip devices access to dial in.

Skype has a sip connection service that makes any Skype handle route
to a sip server, once this is setup in Skype you need to customize
the freeswitch dialplan to accept this connections and route them to
active BBB meetings.

You can find more info on freeswitch.org wiki..

what about Desktop sharing or web cam sharing or documnet sharing?
You just talking about sound sharing(freeSwitch)!

This is quite interesting. Can someone post a screenshot of Skype integrated into BBB? I'm curious to see if you have Skype contacts list interested as well as Skype video. Does it say Skype on the Skype video? Thanks.

This is just using a Skype client to connect "audio only".... the
Skype user name appears inside the listener window of BBB and they are
bridged into the audio conference.

Skype's SIP interoperation is audio-only. If someone wants to see
webcam, presentation, etc. they would have to open the BigBlueButton web
interface to do so.
