BigBlueButton Conferences at the TU Dresden

BigBlueButton is able to host video conferences, where the presenter can share their presentations, screen and videos with other users. A chat, shared notes, a whiteboard, polls and breakout rooms are available for collaborative work. The conferences run on TU Dresden servers, which makes them particularly suitable for exams and defenses as well as sensitive content.

Access

BigBlueButton is available for all members of the TU Dresden. Via the BigBlueButton Portal you create rooms with constant access link and optionally changeable access code. The conferences of a room are started manually by the organizers and are then accessible for viewers. The conference is ended by the organizers or automatically after half an hour of emptiness.
