BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning. Click here to read more.

Before you get started... 

  • IntelliBoard doesn't track BBB meetings that were created before making a successful a connection.
  • The meeting will appear in reporting only in a few minutes after its ending.
  • Cron must be run during each single session in order them to appear in IntelliBoard reports.

Step 1: Enabling Monitoring of BigBlueButton Meetings

  • From LMS system go to Site Administration > Plugins > Local plugins > IntelliBoard.net Plugin
  • Scroll down to BigBlueButton meetings settings
  • Turn on Enable monitoring of BigBlueButton meetings

Step 3: Finishing Connection

  • Copy BigBlueButton Server URL and BigBlueButton Shared Secret from the BigBlueButtonBN settings and paste accordingly to BBB API endpoint and BBB server secret from the BigBlueButton meetings

NOTE: You MUST add "/api" at the end of the BBB API endpoint. E.g., your BigBlueButton Server URL is https://meet.intelliboard.net/bigbluebutton. For successful connection paste this URL to BBB API endpoint and add "/api" at the end, so you'll get https://meet.intelliboard.net/bigbluebutton/api.

  • Click on Save changes button in the bottom of the IntelliBoard settings page
  • When it is saved check if you have Successfully connected green check mark at the bottom of BigBlueButton meetings settings
    NOTE: The checkmark is available with 2020051400 plugin version.
