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.

Take care! Jeff

Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
