Something has recently changed with BBB, in that only the webcam of the host is featured in the recorded video. It has done this with several of my class teams that have used BBB the last few days.  Users can see each other's webcams just fine during the meeting, but only the host is visible during playback. Any ideas what has happened?  Thanks!!

Hi Jay,

Are you using an external company to host your BigBlueButton sessions, or using demo.bigbluebutton.org, or using a version of BigBlueButton within Canvas or Moodle or some other LMS?

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred, thanks for the response!  Our institution does not locally host BBB or use the demo but rather use the BBB/Blindside.

Hi Fred,

We are experiencing this issue also. We have built our own LMS which we use BBB with and its hosted by a third party IaaS provider.

Thanks,
Phill
