The URZ has set up a system based on the BigBlueButton software. This allows video conferences to be held in a web browser.
The advantage of this solution is that only secure transmission protocols are used. No special software is required to participate. A current Chromium-based web browser is sufficient.
The BBB system is intended for the relocation of interactive events with over 1,500 participants per room and is therefore particularly suitable for courses and online consultations in groups.
Note: As part of the cooperation between the Saxon universities, TU Bergakademie Freiberg will in future use the BigBlueButton (BBB) service of Chemnitz University of Technology. This solution offers us the opportunity to use a proven and reliably operated web conferencing service. By using the free service, we can focus our resources on other IT services. Find out more
