BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton lets instructors share audio, video, slides with whiteboard controls, chat, and their screen in real time. It is for instructors teaching remote students who need live ways to present material and communicate during a session. Polling lets instructors ask students for responses, while emojis offer another way to engage with the class. Breakout rooms allow instructors to separate remote students during the same session. For a lesson centered on slides, the instructor can share the slides, use whiteboard controls, and continue communicating through audio, video, or chat. Screen sharing provides another real-time sharing option. Polls, emojis, and breakout rooms add ways to engage students beyond the main audio, video, and slide presentation. The main limitation is its audience fit: these features center on instructors and remote students, so BigBlueButton may be less suitable for people seeking software for a different setting.
