A custom BigBlueButton plugin that adds a "Start Stream" button to the session's action dropdown menu. This plugin provides an intuitive way for moderators to initiate a live stream directly from within an active BigBlueButton conference — streamlining the process and enhancing the user experience during virtual meetings, webinars, and presentations.
🔥 Features
- "Seamlessly integrates into BigBlueButton’s action dropdown."
- "Enables moderators to start streaming with a single click. (e.g: Twitch, Youtube, ...)"
- "Designed to improve workflow for online classes, virtual events, live broadcasts, and streaming to a large audience."
To build the plugin for production use, follow these steps:
cd $HOME/src/plugin-template
npm ci
npm run build-bundleThe above command will generate the dist folder, containing the bundled JavaScript file named <plugin-name>.js. This file can be hosted on any HTTPS server along with its manifest.json.
If you install the Plugin separated to the manifest, remember to change the javascriptEntrypointUrl in the manifest.json to the correct endpoint.
To use the plugin in BigBlueButton, send this parameter along in create call:
pluginManifests=[{"url":"<your-domain>/path/to/manifest.json"}]
Or additionally, you can add this same configuration in the .properties file from bbb-web in /usr/share/bbb-web/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties
