What is the maximum number of people visible on the screen on BIGBLUEBUTTON conference session?
We have 50 students for a course. How will they see the Faculty & all the students? We have video mode mandatory for all students. Please advice.
Hi, I’m Fred Dixon, the product manager for BigBlueButton. While I don’t work at Instructure and can’t speak on their behalf, I can answer your question.
You can view a maximum of 25 webcams in BigBlueButton at one time. The instructor can paginate left/right through the webcams.
We highlight each speaker's webcam as they talk, and we automatically move the most recent speakers to the top of the webcams so you can always see who is speaking.
There is a built-in version of BigBlueButton that is hosted by Blindside Networks that has some restrictions on webcams -- students can't see each other's webcams, but faculty can see all student webcams.
Contact me if you'd like to explore further what we can do in our enhanced version that provides webcam visibility to all.
Regards,... Fred
P.S. I moonlight as the CEO of Blindside Networks
Hello @MamathaKuchibho - for details on using the Bigbluebutton conferencing tool I went over to the documentation and help pages on that site. Here is the landing page for the Canvas integration with Bigbluebutton:
https://support.bigbluebutton.org/hc/en-us/categories/1500000517441-Canvas
And here is the support article that speaks to your question on simultaneous webcams. Based on what I read on that page, I do not believe the product is designed to support such a large number of concurrent videos being visible.

Hello there, @MamathaKuchibho ...
In addition to the information that @Jeff_F provided to you earlier today, I'd also like to bring in @ffdixon to this conversation, as he might have some additional insights for you. I hope the information that Jeff and I have provided will be of help to you. Good luck!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
