Then we need to figure out why this is happening and figure out how to fix it. You may suspect that it is due to bigbluebutton server or html5 client issues, or that it is related to IP address or port 80.

BigBlueButton is a web conferencing system that is free and open source. It is web-based, so you must use a browser to participate in the meeting. The advantage is that users do not need to download and install any applications on their devices. However, it will necessitate the user configuring some browser settings, particularly the first time. However, while it is generally acceptable and simple to use, you may encounter some issues.

Today we are going to address this common issue for the BigBlueButton user.
