We're building an e-school where we want to create a BigBlueButton user with different rights depending on if a student or teacher signs up.

Can't find an API call nor webhook to create a user so wondering if it's maybe possible to create straight to the DB the user? Redis is used for DB? Or what's the best way to do so.

Also, need to save in our e-school database then the user ID in our users table bbb_user field to be able to assign rooms and meetings to that user via API.

  • Someone suggested: Actually, you don’t need to sign up users to the BBB, moderator when creating the call will generate a password that will be sent to the users that will attend the meeting. So you just assign in your own database (not in BBB Redis) rooms to your users and meetings to the rooms. – Kaspar L. Palgi May 14 '21 at 10:07
  • But then not sure if it's really that you just come up with userID from your database and don't need to pre-register that user beforehand in BBB? – Kaspar L. Palgi May 14 '21 at 11:45

If you have created the meeting, then you can call APIs like this:

join as moderator (teacher)

https://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api/join?fullName=User+5209488&meetingID=random-6182117&password=mp&redirect=true&checksum=f68e963ade89ace13b6a15648289b400dd31a36b

join as attendee (student)

https://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api/join?fullName=User+5209488&meetingID=random-6182117&password=ap&redirect=true&checksum=2f68c7e33c4427526807bef3cc2a0ee4ec7c2d62

for more details about API requests, take a look at api-mate

  • That's clear yes but we want to implement a custom design to it: https://projects.crewnew.com/schoolify/schoolify-fe-develop/public/video/video.html Maybe this can be used: https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/legacy/html5-overview.html Can you help with implementing this custom design to BBB.
