Our Vision

Our vision is that starting a web conference should be as easy as clicking a single metaphorical big blue button. As an open source project, we believe it should be easy for others to embrace and extend education. And while web conferencing means many things to many people — our focus is to make the best web conferencing system for distance education.

What is BigBlueButton ?

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system built on over fourteen open source components to create an integrated solution that runs on Mac, Unix, and PC computers. In the true sense of open source, we invite you to try out and participate in our project.

For Developers

We are developers, and we know how difficult it can be to understand other projects. If you want to contribute or extend BigBlueButton, we’ve created overviews, installation videos, tutorials, and we use a public issue tracking system, and source code repository. Got a question?
