[Using Sakai] Experience with BigBlueButton?

[Daniel Merino]

Hi, Jeff.

We are using BBB about half a year ago and I think that our users 
experience is good enough. Though our university is quite small.

It was a huge improvement from 0.7 to 0.8 versions in audio delay and 
echo cancellation. Before BBB, we tested Openmeetings and our experience 
was not good.

As main issues, their use in computers with limited access (i.e. a 
classroom) is tricky, because flash needs to install some libraries and 
BBB hangs if user has no privileges to do it.

BBB Tool JIRA is maintained by Jesus Federico and he quickly solved some 
minor bugs that we had.

Currently, our main concern is that recordings don't cover webcams 
(though is in BBB agenda) unless you set another server with Matterhorn 
and that recordings are not securized (once you have the URL, anybody 
can view it).

If you have any other question, feel free to ask me.

Hope it helps.
Best regards.
