Raw Blame History

Zulip supports using BigBlueButton as its video call video call provider. This is currently only possible on self-hosted Zulip installations.

To use the BigBlueButton video call integration, you'll need to have a BigBlueButton server and configure your zulip server to use that BigBlueButton server.

Configure BigBlueButton server

  1. Get the Shared Secret using the bbb-conf --secret command on your BigBlueButton Server. See also BigBlueButton documentation.

  2. Get the URL to your BigBlueButton API. The URL has the form of https://bigbluebutton.example.com/bigbluebutton/ and can also be found using the bbb-conf --secret command.

Configure zulip server

  1. In /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, set big_blue_button_secret as your BigBlueButton Server's shared secret.

  2. In /etc/zulip/settings.py, set BIG_BLUE_BUTTON_URL as your BigBlueButton Server's API URL.

  3. Restart the Zulip server with /home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server.

Using BigBlueButton

  1. Select BigBlueButton as the organization's video call provider.

  2. Zulip's call button will now create meetings using BigBlueButton.
