WordPress Integration

Virtual Classroom for WordPress enables the user to create BBB rooms right from the WordPress dashboard. Once the room is created it can be added to any WordPress page through a simple shortcode. There is also a possibility to enter multiple rooms in the shortcode to let the user choose the room that they want to join.

The student can simply click Join from the page where the shortcode is added and enter the BBB room where the teacher can initiate a virtual classroom session.

After the session is over the plugin can also display the recording of the session on the same page so that the students can take the keynotes from the session later on.

Free Plugin Limitations

• Join room on the same page is not available. Only join in a new full screen window is supported

REQUIRED: Separate BigBlueButton Server

BBB software requires a separate hosting server that should be connected to our plugin. Please refer to our hosting guide for setup.

This free plugin includes test BigBlueButton credentials so you can try rooms after install. They are for testing only and are available “AS IS” without any warranty. The test server is publicly accessible, and sessions and recordings may be open to anyone. For production, use your own BBB server or create a Blindside Networks account and replace the Endpoint URL and Shared Secret.
