How to record your ILT sessions and web conferences with BigBlueButton in the Legacy interface

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for providing remote students with high-quality online learning experiences.

TalentLMS uses a native BigBlueButton integration for supporting live events (i.e., Integrated video conference). However, you cannot record your sessions with the native TalentLMS-BigBlueButton integration.

If you want to record all your ILT sessions and teleconferences for future viewing, you have to choose BigBlueButton as your default conference type and connect your portal to your BBB account as described in this article.

Here’s how to use BigBlueButton to record:

A. Conferences
 
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as Instructor (1).
2. On the right-hand panel, click Conferences (2).

3. Click Add conference.
4. Type a Name and Welcome message, and pick a Date, Start time, and Duration for your conference.
5. Check Enable recording (3).
6. Click Add conference to save your settings.

7. Add some users by clicking the add symbol or choose a course or group from the respective drop-down list to add all registered users at once. Click Notify users to let them know by email that they’re participating in your conference.

Now you’re ready to hold and record your new live event.

Note: In a recorded session, BigBlueButton saves slides, chat, audio, desktop activity, whiteboard events, and webcam footage.
