BigBlueButton is an open source virtual classroom software program designed for online education. Greenlight is an open-source, LGPL-3.0 licensed web application for BigBlueButton quick set up.
Working together, BigBlueButton & Greenlight provide the complex functionality with a user-friendly interface.
We guarantee that our servers are running safe and original software.
BigBlueButton hosting is useful when an organization needs a controlled video conferencing environment for education, training or collaboration.
Choose a FreePBX server when:
Create online classrooms with video, whiteboard, chat, polls and breakout rooms for interactive learning.
Run live training sessions, workshops and presentations with recording options for later access.
Connect BigBlueButton with Moodle, Canvas, WordPress or other systems used by your education team.
Use a self-hosted conferencing environment for internal collaboration, onboarding and team training.
BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for online learning. Accessed through a variety of Learning Management Systems, the application provides engagement tools and analytics for educators to interact with their students remotely.
Greenlight is an open-source, LGPL-3.0 licensed web application that allows organizations to quickly set up a complete web conferencing platform using their existing BigBlueButton server. It is user-friendly for both regular and advanced users.
To install BigBlueButton + Greenlight, you need to select a license while ordering a server on HOSTKEY website. Our auto-deployment system will install the platform on your server.
If you have any difficulties or questions when installing and/or using the software, carefully learn the documentation on the official website of the developer, read about typical problems and how to solve them or contact BigBlueButton support.
BigBlueButton hosting means running BigBlueButton on server infrastructure so users can host virtual classrooms, webinars, meetings and online training sessions through a browser-based conferencing platform.
Yes. BigBlueButton and Greenlight are open source under LGPL-3.0. You pay only for the server — no licence fees, no per-participant charges, and no setup fee.
It depends on the server and your bandwidth, not on a plan:
Video, screen sharing and recording all raise the load, so size for peak sessions, not average ones.
Self-hosted. We deliver a server with BigBlueButton and Greenlight already installed and keep the infrastructure running; you keep root access and control the platform itself — updates, branding, recordings and integrations. Support covers the server and network.
BigBlueButton only runs over HTTPS, so it needs a domain and a valid certificate.
Yes. The server exposes the standard BigBlueButton API endpoint, so it plugs into Moodle, Canvas and WordPress, or into your own LMS via REST. Greenlight is there if you'd rather use it as a standalone platform.
Users behind restrictive firewalls or VPNs may need a TURN/STUN server to get audio and video through. With root access you can deploy Co-TURN on your server or point BigBlueButton at an external one.
Yes. For larger deployments you can run several BigBlueButton servers behind Scalelite, the official load balancer, and route sessions across them from your LMS. You design the topology; we supply the servers.
