Hi Yahya,

That's a lot of questions.  After reading through them, it looks like you are using the BigBlueButtonBN plugin for Moodle, accessed from


A bit of explanation will probably answer most of your questions.  The BigBlueButtonBN plugin for Moodle users collaborate in real-time using BigBlueButton.  You need a BigBlueButton server as well to use the BigBlueButtonBN plugin.  For testing, the BigBlueButtonBN plugin comes pre-configured for a BigBlueButton server called test-install.  This server is maintained by the developers of the BigBlueButtonBN plugin for the Moodle community so they can easily test the BigBlueButtonBN plugin in their installation.  

This test-install server is not intended for production use (though some do use it quite heavily).  We recommend that if you are going to use BigBlueButtonBN with Moodle that you setup your own BigBlueButton server.  You don't install the BigBlueButton system on your Moodle server; rather, you setup a separate Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit server and install BigBlueButton using the steps here


Once installed, you can extract the shared secret and URL from your BigBlueButton server using the command (run at the SSH prompt)

  bbb-conf --secret

and use the outputted values to configure your BigBlueButtonBN plugin to talk to your BigBlueButton server.

You are free to use test-install server as long as you wish.  This server had no service level, so for more reliability you probably want to setup your own server or reach out to the various companies that provide hosting for BigBlueButton.  See



> 2-where does the recorded videos of conferences save? Are they in my host ? can I see them in cpanel? or can I assign an address for recorded videos in my cpanel or another address(host) in another website?

The recordings are saved on the BigBlueButton server.  In the case where you are using test-install, they are stored on the test-install server.


> 3-If I use moodle mobile, can I give the moodle mobile for the students to connect to class with mobiles and tablets? and can the students connect to class without any problems and see the notes that I write in whiteboard?

There isn't a mobile client yet for BigBlueButton.  We are working on it.  For an update of our progress, see the presentations from the recent developer summit



> 4-is there any tools for cleaning the cache of moodle? if yes,please give me the address for download it?

Not sure the answer.  We're experts in BigBlueButton, no Moodle.  Best to check with the Moodle documentation.


> 5-can I use any plugin(or anything) for moodle that when the students want to connect to class,be forced to pay an assigned money to pay to enter the class or for example for entering the course and using the course classes ?

Same answer as to 4.

Same answer as to 4.

> and token will change.... can I customize the above address and delete "test-install" or completely change the address to the address I want however the students and I connect to session and the tokens?

Yes, if you setup your own BigBlueButton server, it will have whatever the URL is for your server.  See our comments at the start of this post.

See comments at the start of this post.

The audio bandwidth of BigBlueButton is minimal.  For more information on bandwidth requirements when setting up a BigBlueButton server, see
