Schoology Conferences by BigBlueButton provides a virtual classroom platform that offers built-in activities for active learning and live analytics to ensure every student learns. This enables schools and organizations to deliver a high-quality learning experience to remote students.
Using the Conferences app, course and group admins can create, plan, and hold live audio and video conferences with up to 250 participants, making it best suited for sessions of 250 students or fewer.
The Conferences app from BigBlueButton is hosted by Blindside Networks. All organizations using Schoology have access to the free version of BigBlueButton via the Conferences app.
Organizations with Premium licensing from Blindside Networks have access to additional features.
Install the Conferences app
Instructors can install Conferences from the Schoology App Center directly to each course and group they administer. For course-level installation steps, refer to the App Center (Instructors) page.
System administrators can install the app for all courses and groups in their organization. For organization-level installation steps, refer to the Install and manage apps in the App Center page.
Only course and group admins can create and start a conference. By default, all course members can participate. To prevent other members from participating in a conference, select Course admins only when installing the app.
