Use BigBlueButton as your call provider in Zulip

You can configure BigBlueButton as the call provider for your organization. Users will be able to start a BigBlueButton call and invite others using the add video call () or add voice call () button in the compose box.

!!! warn ""

**Note:** This is currently only possible on self-hosted Zulip
installations, and you'll need a BigBlueButton server.

Configure BigBlueButton as your call provider

By default, Zulip integrates with Jitsi Meet, a fully-encrypted, 100% open source video conferencing solution. You can configure Zulip to use BigBlueButton as your call provider instead.

{start_tabs}

  1. Run bbb-conf --secret on your BigBlueButton server to get the hostname and shared secret for your BigBlueButton server.

  2. In /etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf, set big_blue_button_secret to your BigBlueButton server's shared secret.

  3. In /etc/zulip/settings.py, set BIG_BLUE_BUTTON_URL to your BigBlueButton server's hostname.

  4. Restart the Zulip server with /home/zulip/deployments/current/scripts/restart-server.

{settings_tab|organization-settings}

  1. Under Compose settings, select BigBlueButton from the Call provider dropdown.

  2. Click Save changes.
