FAQ

How to install BigBlueButton + Greenlight on a virtual or dedicated server?

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.

I am having trouble installing and/or using BigBlueButton + Greenlight

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.

What is BigBlueButton hosting?

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.

Is BigBlueButton free?

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.

How many concurrent users can one server handle?

It depends on the server and your bandwidth, not on a plan:

  • 󠁯•󠁏󠁏 VPS — evaluation, development and small sessions.
  • 󠁯•󠁏󠁏 Dedicated — real classes and webinars; BigBlueButton is media-heavy and wants a dedicated CPU and network.

Video, screen sharing and recording all raise the load, so size for peak sessions, not average ones.

Is this managed BigBlueButton hosting or self-hosted?

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.

Do I need my own domain and SSL certificate?

BigBlueButton only runs over HTTPS, so it needs a domain and a valid certificate.

Can I integrate BigBlueButton with Moodle or my own LMS?

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.

What if participants can't connect from a corporate network?

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.

Can I scale beyond one server?

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.

Crytek
After launching another successful IP — HUNT: Showdown, a competitive first-person PvP bounty hunting game with heavy PvE elements, Crytek aimed to bring this amazing game for its end-users. We needed a hosting provider that can offer us high-performance servers with great network speed, latency, and 24/7 support.

doXray
doXray has been using HOSTKEY for the development and the operation of our software solutions. Our applications require the use of GPU processing power. We have been using HOSTKEY for several years and we are very satisfied with the way they operate. New requirements are setup fast and support follows up after the installation process to check if everything is as requested. Support during operations is reliable and fast.
