[matrix] element extension for starting BBB meetings

Quelle Bild: DALL·E/ChatGPT

Using a matrix extension (formerly known as "widget"), participants in a matrix chatroom can start a BigBlueButton meeting from the element matrix client. The extension will create a join link for every person in the matrix room and they can join the conference with the click of a button.

We presented the current status of the work at this year's BigBlueButton World Conference 2025 in June 24-26. The recording of the presentation can be viewed here.

The extension was financed with special thanks to the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
