Pros / Cons
  • Especially in the field of online teaching and research, it is particularly appealing that BigBlueButton can be used on one's own systems without sharing information with third parties.
  • PPT upload for presentation takes too long and you lose presentation screen completely, which causes you to lose control of the class and chat during that time.

  • The convenience of Google Meets being compatible across platforms, having real time captions and an AI tools to capture the information from a meeting.
  • The time limitation of 60 minutes on free the free tier was the most disgusting thing ever but I can’t complain since my organization upgraded to a paid version (Business Standard) which meets all my needs.
