Should fix an issue with the recent Chrome 92 intervention that limits
the number of concurrent WebMediaPlayers (an inner element of
HTMLMediaElements) to 75/40.

Webcam video elements were being left dangling in paused state despite
the elements themselves being cleaned up from the component. That
generated a skewed accounting of WebMediaPlayers in the session.

BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system.

BigBlueButton supports real-time sharing of audio, video, slides (with whiteboard controls), chat, and the screen. Instructors can engage remote students with polling, emojis, multi-user whiteboard, and breakout rooms.

Presenters can record and playback content for later sharing with others.

We designed BigBlueButton for online learning (though it can be used for many other applications). The educational use cases for BigBlueButton are

  • Online tutoring (one-to-one)
  • Flipped classrooms (recording content ahead of your session)
  • Group collaboration (many-to-many)
  • Online classes (one-to-many)

You can install on a Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit server. We provide bbb-install.sh to let you have a server up and running within 30 minutes (or your money back 😉).

For full technical documentation BigBlueButton -- including architecture, features, API, and GreenLight (the default front-end) -- see https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/.
