Hi!



I setup a  BBB Live Streaming you can check here.


we appreciate that you want to test the streaming.

I am not sure if this list is the right place to send questions regarding the liveStreaming, as the application is not part of bigbluebutton. So unless the core members allow to discuss here, I suggest you open issues on the githup page of the liveStreaming.


BBB_MEETING_ID - ID of the BBB Meeting (You can get the ID via an API call: https://your_bbb_server/bigbluebutton/api/getMeetings?checksum=)  -----I don't know how to get it.?



please have a look at the bigbluebutton api documentation - there you can see how to get the meeting id.

We will provide a simpler way to look up the meeting id in a future version, currently we evaluate what would be the best solution here.


BBB_STREAM_URL - Stream URL to your streaming server including rtmp. (e.g. rtmp://media_server_url/stream/stream_key)  -----I don't know how to get streamkey?


this depends on your mediaserver, just follow the instructions of your media server documentation or provider and insert the url provided.



1) how to access stream server after installed.


the liveStreaming does not include a streamServer - there is nothing to access, it captures the conference and streams it where ever you configure it to.



How to do below setting and where ? which path?


the settings are all in the same place, either in the docker-compose.yml or in the .env file, see the examples.
