Why bbbserver?
Not Just BigBlueButton. A Better BigBlueButton.
bbbserver takes BigBlueButton's open-source foundation and builds a significantly more capable platform on top — while running it exclusively in EU data centers with the strongest GDPR compliance in the market.
Adopted by organizations that cannot afford weak infrastructure or vague compliance claims
What bbbserver adds to BigBlueButton
These are platform capabilities built by bbbserver on top of BigBlueButton, not generic hosting claims.
AI Meeting Summary
bbbserver has built AI-powered meeting summaries directly into the platform. After a session, participants receive a structured summary of what was discussed. This feature is not available in standard BigBlueButton.
Built-in Meeting Scheduler
Schedule recurring conferences in advance, send calendar invitations, and manage your entire meeting calendar without a third-party tool. This is not part of standard BigBlueButton. It was built by bbbserver.
Attendance Tracking
Automatically track who attended each session and for how long. It is essential for educational institutions and compliance-sensitive environments, and it is not available in standard BigBlueButton.
Conference Media Playback
Share pre-recorded audio and video files during live sessions without screen-sharing a video player. Conference media playback is integrated natively into the conference interface.
Recording Retention Controls
Set configurable deletion periods for recordings. Keep recordings as long as you need them or automatically delete them after a defined period to meet data minimization requirements.
Team Management
Organize users into teams and groups, and manage permissions at the team level. It is designed for organizations running multiple departments or courses simultaneously.
LDAP Sync
Keep user accounts in sync with your Active Directory or LDAP server automatically via bbbserver's CLI tool.
System API
Get full programmatic access to account management and conference control. Build bbbserver into your own applications, LMS, or internal tools.
Scale That Matches You
Run rooms with up to 300 participants and scale to up to 10,000 simultaneous connections. bbbserver uses a concurrent-connection pricing model, so you pay for actual simultaneous usage instead of total seat count.
GDPR compliance that is structural, not just claimed
bbbserver is designed around European data protection requirements at the infrastructure, product, and operational level.
EU-only servers
Your data is stored and processed exclusively in EU data centers. There is no transfer to third countries and no reliance on Standard Contractual Clause workarounds.
ISO 27001-certified data centers
The data centers running bbbserver infrastructure are independently ISO 27001-certified.
DPA included for every customer
A Data Processing Agreement (Auftragsverarbeitungsvertrag, Art. 28 DSGVO) is included as standard, not only on request.
Audit-proof logs
Every session generates logs of participant entry times, role changes, and recording events.
Recording consent built in
Recording requires explicit participant consent, and a visible recording indicator is always displayed when recording is active.
Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication is available for all accounts.
No vendor lock-in
Your data is exportable, so you are never trapped.
Privacy-consistent analytics
bbbserver uses Matomo with IP anonymization instead of Google Analytics.
Built for the environments where compliance and control matter most
Schools & Universities
Meet DSGVO obligations for student data. Use attendance tracking for digital lessons, Moodle integration for existing workflows, and the scheduler for recurring courses. 9,300+ educational institutions already use bbbserver.
Government & Public Authorities
Data sovereignty is built into the platform with EU-only servers, a DPA included as standard, and audit-proof logs. That covers the legal requirements for compliant digital proceedings. 4,600+ government customers already rely on bbbserver.
Businesses & Enterprises
Use LDAP and API integration to fit bbbserver into your existing stack. Team management works at scale, and concurrent-connection pricing avoids the waste of per-seat models. 11,000+ businesses already use bbbserver.
Healthcare & Legal
The strictest data handling requirements are met as standard. Dedicated instances, no data commingling, and configurable recording deletion support data minimization from the start.
