Designed for classrooms, not boardrooms

Global Community

An open project that unites the world

We develop BigBlueButton in open with a world-wide community of developers, educators, students, commercial companies, governments, and sovereign nations all working towards the mission of building the world’s most effective virtual classroom.


This openness creates a commonwealth all working in parallel towards our mission.

The core developers are all from commercial companies. The educators have direct feedback into the products. And we leverage the latest research and feedback in creating our roadmap.
