Tutorial Videos
Welcome! This page has videos to help you quickly get started with BigBlueButton as teacher and student.
BigBlueButton runs within your web browser (no app to download and install). We recommend using the latest version of Chrome or FireFox on your desktop or laptop computers. If your using a chromebook, use the built-in Chrome browser.
The BigBlueButton client also runs on mobile devices (again, you don’t need to install any app). When using an iPad or iPhone, BigBlueButton runs within the default Safari Mobile browser (iOS 12.2+). When using an Android device, BigBlueButton runs within the default Chrome browser (Android 6.0+).
The videos below will show you how to use BigBlueButton as a teacher (moderator) and student (viewer). If you want to test out your sharing of audio, video, and screen in a private session (you’ll be the only one in the session), visit https://test.bigbluebutton.org/.
