To support 10s of such sessions with 1000s of concurrent users, a cluster needs to be built which will then load-balance the sessions between a number of such servers. A BigBlueButton server can handle multiple sessions like this.

In real terms, however, an optimum use case is with one or two presenters on full audio and video + slides and around 30 to 40 participants listening in (a typical classroom scenario). The Jitsi Meet development team recommends upto 75 participants in a video call (given capable hardware and sufficient bandwidth).Ī typical BigBlueButton server can handle around 200 concurrent users with a maximum of around 100 in a single session. If you are organising a meeting on Jitsi with one or two participants who broadcast their video and the rest just listen in, the maximum number of participants can be higher. The audio quality dips as the data transfer and bandwidth requirements increase (both on the server and on each participant). Some of them are: MConf, VMukti, Jitsi, and WebHuddle (Pappas, 2016). The recommended limit for Jitsi is around 20 to 30 participants with full audio and video. As general, Big Blue Button provides all necessary Web conferencing tools like. With careful design and implementation, the software can indeed handle many more concurrent users and sessions. It is important to understand that these are not limits of the software or the service. Listed below is a recommendation based on an average server sizing and default setup. Lets help you evaluate these tools quickly and then assess your requirements so that we can give you an overview of our charges. We charge based on the scale of effort we put in and the level of hand-holding and support you require. We are that “ someone” and that service of installing, configuring, scaling, fixing, updating, integrating, managing, monitoring and customising the software is exactly what we offer.

Hence, users of the software need to either learn how to setup and configure them (very possible and we would love to help with that – lets talk!) or find someone who does.

This means that while the entire software (and its complete and corresponding source code) are available for download and use free-of-charge, considerable effort and skill is required to make the software usable. Jitsi Meet is licensed under the Apache-2.0 license while BigBlueButton & Greenlightare licensed under LGPL-3.0. It is true that Jitsi and BigBlueButton are available free-of-charge and under a free software license.
