BigBlueButton 0.80 Released
We are pleased to announce the FINAL RELEASE of BigBlueButton 0.80.
We’ve had the 0.80-RC3 candidate out for about two weeks and it’s looking good. For 0.80 final, we changed the labels, updated a few of the locales, and tagged the release in GitHub. It’s now done and available for download and installation.
BigBlueButton 0.80 is the tenth release of BigBlueButton. This release has gone through 4 betas and 3 release candidates. We believe the focus of BigBlueButton’s development should be stability, usability, and features (in that order).
BigBlueButton 0.80 represents our most stable and tested release to date. We believed it will provide a solid platform on which other open source projects and commercial companies can build upon.
BigBlueButton 0.80 offers
- Recording of session
- Playback of recordings in HTML5
- Reduced latency in audio
- Updates to the API (to support record and playback)
- Integration with Matterhorn
For more information, please see the Release Notes. For installation/upgrade instructions, please see Installing BigBlueButton 0.80
We wish to give a BIG THANKS all the members of our community who contributed their time and effort to help develop, document, and test this release.
Our goal with BigBlueButton is to enable remote students to have a high-quality learning experience. If you are an education organization or commercial company with remote students, we’re building BigBlueButton for you.

What are your target dates for adding accessibility features? Can you tell me what features you are working on? or what might be included in a next release?
Hi Greg,
As an open source project, we don’t provide dates. However, we are now actively working on adding accessibility features as part of BigBlueButton 0.81. See http://www.bigbluebutton.org/2012/07/27/bigbluebutton-community-call-improving-accessibility/.

Hi There,
We’re surprised that you got it installed on CentOS — we’ve not done any work on CentOS for over two years. To start a web conference, see the documentation on the BigBlueButton API. We also provide a number of API demos in the BigBlueButton distribution, which may not be on your server. Check out http://demo.bigbluebutton.org/ for an example of the API demos.

Hi pourya,
We don’t (yet) support Ubuntu 12.04 for packaging. Our plans are to support it after the 0.81 release. Is it an option for you to use Ubuntu 10.04? Please post follow-up questions to bigbluebutton-setup.
