polycom conferencing system integration with bbb

[Fatih Öztürk]

Dear sir/madam,

We have installed bbb and integrated it with moodle system we are using. It works like a charm and we are very happy. 

Recently I had a request to integrate our meeting room polycom HDX6000 system into bbb. Has anyone done any integration work using polycom api? Can I get some help from bbb?

Regards,

Fatih Ozturk

Hi Fatih,

After checking out the HDX6000, it looks like a stand-alone telepresence solution.  As such, it would use different protocols than BigBlueButton and would not be compatible. BigBlueButton does not support H.232.  

If you wish to broadcast audio/video from a classroom using BigBlueButton, your best approach is to use a computer in the classroom running BigBlueButton.  If the classroom is equipped with microphones, then patch in a feed to the computer's audio input.

Alternatively, you could setup BigBlueButton to accept incoming phone calls (using a SIP trunk provider) and then use an off-the-shelf speaker phone.  You can also check out USB-based speaker phones, see

Video is usually relatively straightforward as the webcams on a laptop are sufficient for broadcasting video.  

Regards,... Fred
