What does the BigBlueButton error code mean?
BigBlueButton is an opensource video conference software that is becoming increasingly popular during the COVID-19 period. Every day, millions of people take classes online. Users may encounter error codes such as 1001,1006,1007,1020... What does this mean? What should be checked and how should it be fixed?
The advantage of web-based software is that there is no need to download and install anything; simply use a browser, which is very convenient and compatible with all devices. However, the user must configure the browser correctly, and the developer must configure the server correctly as well. Otherwise, error messages will be displayed.
We've listed the majority of the most common error messages along with the code to make it easier for you to look up and understand what's going on when those error messages appear.
