Designed for educators, great for everyone

BigBlueButton was originally designed for virtual university classrooms, so it's been extensively tested by world-class communicators with demanding requirements for online collaboration. We've found it's ideal for businesses and civil society organisations running meetings and working collaboratively.

Rich in collaborative features

BigBlueButton offers a rich set of features for any meeting or online collaboration, including screen sharing, breakout rooms, polls, a multi-user whiteboard, and the ability to watch videos together. Unlike many competing products, multiple users can share screens simultaneously while maintaining visual contact with webcam video.

High quality audio and video

BigBlueButton provides high quality audio and video, and performs well even with limited bandwidth or large meetings. Sessions can be recorded, including associated chat and shared notes. An analytics dashboard can show you who's participating the most, and whose voice isn't being heard.
