And a lot of features and functionality it provides like hand raising, file sharing, whiteboard, polls, presentation tools, presentation streaming, screensharing, recording and more. And all of these are so stable and smooth working. I am really very satisfied with Bigbluebutton. > > **Cons**: There are some cons but they're so less comparing to the pros. It's only available in Linux and Windows. Mobile and mac users can't use it. Community support lacks a bit. > > It was very easy to install. I had a great conference everytime I used Bigbluebutton. Just when I had clients using mac. I needed to consider another software having multiple os supporting feature. ----- ### "Perfect tool for video Conferencing and Online Discussions" — 5.0/5 > **Rubangakene** | *7 June 2022* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing I like about BigBlueButton is its integration with the Learning Management Systems. This saves a lot of time and effort since all the necessary tools are available to aid learning sessions. Another thing is also it's customization for example choosing own colors and designs for the online classroom, enabling or disabling features based on your demands > > **Cons**: I think have no issue with BigBlueButton and still hoping to discover more interesting features > > Throughout my experiences using BigBlueButton i noticed the software works best with computers of RAM starting from 4GB anything below tends to slow down the video real time signal and it freeze ----- ### "good software ... but\!" — 3.0/5 > **Islam** | *26 October 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: bbb is very easy to set , implement and lunch and has very simple view help anyone to manage it , beside it is large community and devloping proccess > > **Cons**: i think the position of developing cycle is wrong i mean bbb need more develop for customer and end user who is not technical i mean for all our teacher how hard it was to manage and customize and that is first; second bbb has weak error view system for example sometimes internet connection is too bad for sharing and bbb loading for ever it will be greate to show error msg "hi your connection is bad" that so simple but i think end user ( no technical user ) is not calculated here. > > overall bbb is good software to manage video conference if develop process continue as it is maybe in 3 years we will have golden product ----- ### "A thought on BigBlueButton" — 4.0/5 > **Madragule** | *19 October 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the BigBlueButton’s pros is it’s pricing compared to other options out there I believe it wins the pricing battle > > **Cons**: The only con with BigBlueButton is that whenever there’s a high traffic onto the system it tends crash down and also the fact that there’s no remote control feature but, as long as all other features are concerned it is great > > I have personally enjoyed using BigBlueButton, the experience has been okay, except for the fact that when the system seems to be overwhelmed with traffic, it immediately crashes down, I would I definitely recommend ----- ### "Like black coffee: Plain and it always works\!" — 4.0/5 > **Marc** | *26 May 2022* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: BigBlueButton has become a daily companion for me. It is nothing more and nothing less than a simple service for online communication, without attracting attention with desktop applications or data integrity concerns. In the field of academic work, where it is also important that meetings between researchers can be realized worldwide and quickly, BigBlueButton is simple and highly functional. BigBlueButton is simple and to the point in its basic functionality. What makes BigBlueButton particularly elegant is that it can be installed on your own infra structures via Docker and scaled according to capacity. Especially in the field of online teaching and research, it is particularly appealing that BigBlueButton can be used on one's own systems without sharing information with third parties. > > **Cons**: It is often noticeable that BigBlueButton has problems with audio connection. Especially if the browsers used are not Chrome, Firefox or the InternetExplorer it can be that BigBlueButton does not allow a connection to headphones. Often this can cause delays in meetings. > > Overall, BigBlueButton is spotless and covers the standard use cases for online meeting and online teaching. I would choose BigBlueButton over any alternative product because of its simplicity in use and service delivery. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/162664/bigbluebutton?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/162664/bigbluebutton) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
