# 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** (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-video-call"></i>) or
**add voice call** (<i class="zulip-icon zulip-icon-voice-call"></i>) button
[in the compose box](/help/start-a-call).
!!! 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](https://jitsi.org/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.
1. In `/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf`, set `big_blue_button_secret` to your
BigBlueButton server's shared secret.
1. In `/etc/zulip/settings.py`, set `BIG_BLUE_BUTTON_URL` to your
BigBlueButton server's hostname.
1. 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.
1. Click **Save changes**.
