Seneca BigBlueButton web gateway help

This page is a work in progress.

Logging In

To log in to the Seneca BigBlueButton server, simply type in your Seneca username and password into "Login Name" and "Password". Student IDs and employee IDs are both valid. On logging in, you will automatically be taken to the Join Meetings page.

Joining Meetings

To join a meeting click on the Join link in the menu. This is also the page you are sent to when you log in.

Meetings are divided into Lectures and plain Meetings. To join a meeting you will need to receive a password for that meeting. The creator has to supply the password to you.

Create Meetings

This is the page where you can create a meeting of your own. If you are logged in as a Professor, you will have the option of creating either a Lecture or a Meeting. Otherwise, you will only have the option to create a Meeting.

To create a Meeting, fill in the "Name of Meeting" field with the title you would like your meeting listed as on the Join page. Then select and confirm a password for Moderators and a password for Viewers. When you begin your meeting and invite others to participate, the password you give them will determine their status within the meeting (ie, Moderators can mute/unmute other participants)
