Raw Blame History

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

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

Configure Big Blue Button server

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

  2. Get the URL to your Big Blue Button 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 Big Blue Button Server's shared secret.

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

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

Using Big Blue Button

  1. Select Big Blue Button as the organization's video call provider.

  2. Zulip's call button will now create meetings using Big Blue Button.
