Personal Settings
Every participant in a BigBlueButton meeting can customize their personal settings through the three-dot menu in the upper right corner. These settings include language, dark mode, font size, notifications, and data saving options, as well as access to keyboard shortcuts and help.
Opening the Settings
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the upper right corner of the meeting room.
Select Open settings.
Available Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Interface language | Choose the language of the BigBlueButton user interface. This only affects your own view. |
| Dark mode | Activate a dark color scheme that is easier on the eyes in low-light environments. Available since BigBlueButton 2.6. |
| Font size | Adjust the text size in the interface to improve readability. |
| Notifications | Configure audio and popup notifications for chat messages and raised hands. |
| Data saving | Reduce bandwidth usage by disabling webcams or adjusting audio quality. Useful for slow or unstable connections. |
Personal settings only apply to your own session. They do not affect other participants in the meeting.
Keyboard Shortcuts
BigBlueButton provides keyboard shortcuts for quick access to common functions. To view the complete list of available shortcuts:
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the upper right corner.
Select Keyboard shortcuts.
A dialog opens showing all available keyboard shortcuts for controlling audio, video, and other meeting functions.
Help
The help option in the three-dot menu redirects you to the BigBlueButton help documentation. Note that this documentation is available in English only.
Logging Out
To leave the meeting without ending it for everyone:
Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the upper right corner.
Select Log out. The meeting continues for all other participants.
If you are a moderator and want to end the meeting for everyone, use "End meeting" instead of "Log out". Logging out only removes you from the conference.
