Step3. Input that information into your Chamilo BigBlueButton plugin
Step4. Do some global configuration for the BigBlueButton plugin
Step5. You also can configure user limits and class duration individually for each class session
Go to the course home page -----> admin section -----> Setting -----> Video Conference
Click Video conference
Here you can configure some settings only for this course
All of those settings should be based on your actual course situation. The original BigBlueButton plugin for Chamilo has a meeting duration limit of 300 minutes by default. If you don't set it here, the meeting will end after 300 minutes.
In addition, if you do not specify a user limit, the MynaParrot Loadbalacer system will use 30 by default. In this case, it's possible that you won't be able to open more rooms at the same time because the capacity has been exceeded.
Step6. Join a session
It should work after that configuration. If not, or if you require assistance in setting it up, please contact our support team, and we will assist you.
