Dear users of MynaParrot

We are thrilled to announce that we are now ready to upgrade to the latest version of BigBlueButton 2.6!

We've been working tirelessly to ensure that all our extended features, including RTMP and MP4 recording conversion, are fully tested and ready to go.

What is video conference software?

A video conference software is a program that allows users to conduct live video meetings or conferences with one another. This type of software is often used by businesses to hold virtual meetings with employees, clients, or partners who are in different parts of the world. 

What is a video conference plugin?

A video conferencing plugin for Moodle is a program that allows people to conduct video and audio conversations with one another. This sort of plugin may be used for both personal and commercial purposes, and it includes features that are useful to both sorts of users.

There are several different video conferencing plugins available on the Moodle plugin market, and each one has its own set of features.

Video conferencing is becoming more common in our daily lives. Almost everyone will need to use video conferences to work, study or have fun. There are many reasons to use video conferencing, but one of the main reasons is that it can save you time and money.

There are many different video conference systems available, but not all of them are free. Here is a list of 7 free open-source video conference systems that you can use for your next project.

People are relying more and more on internet-based video conferencing to conduct activities. It's becoming a part of everyone's daily lives. We've used the most popular video conferencing applications, such as ZOOM, Google Meet, Microsoft Team, and others. The market is flourishing, therefore companies are developing new items to meet the unique demands of the consumers.

Nowadays, more and more people are searching for a video conferencing solution that may be readily integrated with their current systems and is flexible based on their unique branding or feature needs.

That is why MynaParrot created this innovative video conferencing software, which we call plugNmeet because the name says it all: it's simple to plug and meet.

This blog will look at this new program and see what the differences are and how they plan to fulfill the demand.

When it came time to find an online classroom solution, we looked at a few different platforms. We originally chose ZOOM because it was the most popular platform at the time and had great reviews. However, after using it for a while we found that there were some features that we really wanted that ZOOM didn't have. So, we decided to switch to BigBlueButton! In this blog post, we'll talk about why we made the switch and what benefits BigBlueButton has over ZOOM.

The latest version of BigBlueButton was released on December 20th, 2021. The first edition is 2.4.0. After a month of working, the most recent version is 2.4.2. Is it okay to upgrade now? Let's have a look at this topic in more detail.

Despite the fact that online meetings are here to stay, the most straightforward answer isn't necessarily the greatest.

For most companies, the epidemic has been a severe disruption, but some have benefited. Delivery services, internet grocery stores, and video streaming sites have all grown rapidly. Zoom is one of them.

Zoom's growth isn't simply a function of providing the proper service at the appropriate moment. There were several online meeting platforms to select from, such as 8x8, Cisco Webex and Microsoft Teams, but Zoom was the one that broke out of the corporate world to allow remote pub quizzes, online fitness sessions, and virtual family gatherings.

Users find it simple to use, which is a benefit. Zoom made it very simple to invite non-subscribers and have them join your meetings. It became an obvious default alternative for businesses seeking a reliable, known mechanism for employees to communicate during lockdown in the first half of 2020, owing to its name becoming synonymous with video conferencing.

Now, although pandemic limitations are finally subsiding, many businesses want their employees to work from home at least part of the time. And for firms that decided on Zoom – or any other service – early in the pandemic, this raises a significant concern.

Nowadays, live streaming is extremely popular. As far as I can remember, these trends appeared because of Twitch. tv. After the appearance of this platform, one could watch gaming streams in real-time with other gamers all around the world. 

But people are not only watching other people playing games while they sit back and relax. Nowadays, there are many webinars, online conferences, lectures, and video calls that are streamed all the time. And this trend will continue appearing for sure!

In this post, we'll look at how we'll use BigBlueButton to live stream and how we can change the CSS style.

Whether you want to learn how to code correctly or want to improve your web design knowledge, online courses are a fantastic method for many individuals to advance in life and in their careers without having to invest large sums of money.

Online courses are becoming increasingly popular as a way to advance one's profession without spending a lot of money. You may also perform other interesting tasks like investing in the stock market or learning a new language from the comfort of your own. If you want to share your expertise online, the best option is to use one of WordPress's many LMS plugins.

Open-source learning management systems are software that can be used for all kinds of online courses. They allow you to use the same tool from basic blog platforms to more advanced course functionalities such as tracking student progress, distributing assignments, and collecting grades.

Have you ever wished to use your own brand's colors in your online BigBlueButton classroom's background? Have you ever wanted to use an image as a background? Have you had any innovative ideas and desired to make some modifications to the UI of the BigBlueButton online classroom? Now is feasible, and the MynaParrot BigBlueButton API Manager makes it simple.

Some of the users still want to connect with BigBlueButton using LTI tools, even though the initial version of Canvas LMS includes the bigbluebutton canvas plugin. The main advantage is that you may gain certain extras with LTI tools. In this post, we'll look at how LTI can be used on Canvas LMS to link the BIgBlueButton.

BigBlueButton is popular in online learning, and more and more LMS want to connect with it. The majority of open-source LMS already includes plugins for BigBlueButton. For the private LMS provider, working with LTI is a good approach to get BigBlueButton integrated with LMS. Apart from creating the plugin themselves, they may also use it as an opportunity to work with LTI and integrate it into their own software.

In this post, we'll look at how to employ LTI with BigBlueButton a little further.

Two excellent open-source video conference systems, BigBlueButton and Jitsi, can be utilized for online classroom solutions. They both have advantages and disadvantages, but which one is superior? Which platform is better for an online class? In this post, we'll do a side-by-side comparison of these two platforms to assist you in your decision.

The BigBlueButton developer team has been working quickly since their new version, bigbluebutton 2.4, is coming out next month (September 2021) with only a small water period of time after the release of bigbluebutton 2.3 which was just released in May 2021.

We have already set up a server for BigBlueButton 2.4, and if you are interested in testing it before release, please contact us.

In this blog, I will highlight some of the newly added features on version 2.4.

When using BigBlueButton for online education, many instructors want to have a virtual background such as zoom or other web-conferencing software. BigBlueButton does not currently have this feature built-in. However, the good news is in the underdeveloped version BigBlueButton 2.4, they have added this feature and the official release date is September. We are close to receiving it. You can get a quick overview of it on this link.

When you're trying to implement a bigbluebutton conference system into your learning platform, is better to do some tests first, than to start full-scale implementations.

But what kind of test could you do, without spending too much money, and taking too much time?
