Hi all. 
This could be useful... 

To refresh automatically a HTML Page:
Inside the <head> tag add

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="[time in seconds]">

5, 10, 20 or so. 

Regards.

Hi,
 
since I've only started to use GLv3, can't really say if it has some kind
of monitoring, but I'm guessing it doesn't. However, for GLv2 you don't
have a real-time monitoring tool (if I understood you correctly).
If you want something to monitor your meetings or your BBB server, your
best bet would be grafana. There's already a dasboard (bbb-exporter) to
give you almost any insight intor your BBB server. And if you combine it
with the node-exporter dashboard you should have everything you need.
 
Regards,
J.

Hi J.,
 
Thanks for your response!
 
Just to clarify — I wasn’t looking for a monitoring solution for the BBB
server or system metrics (like with Grafana or node-exporter). My use case
is more from a user perspective.
 
I'm using BBB without Greenlight, and I have a custom start/join page where
users wait for a room to become active. Currently, they have to manually
refresh the page to see if the meeting has started (i.e. if the room is now
running and they can join).
 
So I was asking whether there’s a simple mechanism to auto-refresh or
dynamically update the page — so users can immediately see when the room
becomes available, without hitting refresh.
 
Hope that makes more sense now. Thanks again for your input!
 
Best regards,
Sam

The way most integrations do this, is to poll every few seconds with javascript the api call isMeetingRunning, then when this returns true, follow up with the join command to enter participant into the room.

Hi everyone,
 
I'm running BigBlueButton (v2.6.18) without Greenlight, using my own custom start page to list and access meeting rooms. One issue I’ve encountered is that the page doesn’t automatically reflect whether a room/meeting is currently running or not — I have to manually refresh the browser to see if a meeting has started.
 
I’d like to know:
 
Is there a recommended way to automatically refresh the room status (or the whole page) at regular intervals without needing to reload the page manually?
 
Or this feature is available in greenlight?
 
Has anyone already built a lightweight frontend or script that does this?
 
Any suggestions, examples, or best practices from those using a custom interface with the BBB API would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance!
 
Best regards,
Sam
