A single BigBlueButton session can be
reused as often as you
like. If you are delivering a daily Live
session, it would be beneficial to
create one BigBlueButton activity/session
each week. Therefore, students can
enter the week 1 sessions from the one
location each day. This will help
students to find the right session and
avoid confusion.
Note: The overall performance of BigBlueButton suffers when there are more than 100 users present in a session. We recommend hosting sessions of 100 users (or less) with one person (the presenter) sharing their webcam
