Big Blue Button (video conference system)
New BBB system with more flexible planning component
The new BigBlueButton system at WHZ is more flexible when planning rooms.
Each staff member can create as many rooms as desired very easily and send invitations even to participants without a WHZ account, which makes the application scenarios more flexible, e.g. for public relations, events with external participants, cooperation scenarios, etc.
You can find the web conference servers via the following links:
| System | Link | Recording | Registration of participants |
|---|---|---|---|
| BBBConf | https://bbbconf.fh-zwickau.de | Yes | Name free to choose |
| BBBAuth | https://bbbauth.fh-zwickau.de | Yes | WHZ-Login |
Hinweise:
If you are planning an event where only members of WHZ should participate with their real name, use:
https://bbbauth.fh-zwickau.de
You can use the system for courses, ( verbal) exams, staff interviews + meetings, as well as for public relations.
