Using BBB backend for audio-only calls in third-party app

[Hai Hoang]

Hi team

I’m developing a third-party integration (similar to how Moodle integrates with BBB) — in our case it’s a chat application.

We’d like to separate two use cases:

1. Full online meetings (normal BBB experience).

2. Audio-only calling, where from the user’s perspective it looks like a simple call inside our chat app.

My question is:

• Is it possible to keep our own app frontend, but still connect/join a BBB meeting “behind the scenes,” so that the BBB server handles the audio, while we only expose a lightweight audio-call interface in our app?

Has anyone implemented something similar, or is there a recommended approach to achieve this with the BBB APIs / HTML5 client?

Thanks in advance for your guidance
