Hi, In recent weeks i have been having trouble with DropBox links on smart slides not playing, or taking a very long time to load. I am using BBB2.6.18 but I also tried the same link in the demo 3.0.13 server with the same result.

Does anyone have useful ides to fix this issue.

Many thanks
Dennis

Hi,

Can you confirm it is a public link (try opening it in a private/incognito tab and ensure it loads without asking for permission)?

> or taking a very long time to load.

Hmm ... BigBlueButton is telling the browser to load the dropbox file, so it's a straight path between dropbox and your browser (BigBlueButton isn't in the middle).

I would look at the users that are loading slowly ... if they open the link directly in a browser tab, does it load any faster/slower?


Regards,... Fred
