# Moodle: BigBlueButton

This source provides technical and operational guidance for using BigBlueButton (BBB) within the Moodle environment at the Universität Greifswald. It covers the creation of e-learning classrooms, role-based permissions, performance optimization, and troubleshooting procedures for session failures.

Key areas covered include:
- **Integration**: How BBB functions as an activity within Moodle courses to create virtual classrooms.
- **Permissions**: The distinction between Moderators and Viewers, and the system-enforced restrictions on guest accounts.
- **Data Persistence**: The volatile nature of BBB sessions and the importance of "standard presentations."
- **Technical Recovery**: The "host-based" restart method to resolve systemic session issues.
- **Performance**: Guidelines on camera usage and file upload sizes to maintain stability.
