[Linux-aus] Wanted: HTML5 video support for BigBlueButton (A shout-out to all HTML5 and video wizards!)

[Arjen Lentz]

Hi all

A shout-out to all HTML5 and video wizards!

BigBlueButton is an online learning system, roughly an Open Source competitor to Blackboard Collaborate/Eluminate.

It works really well, but historically it's had a nasty Flash dependency to do its audio/video.
There is an HTML5 client that now has the audio sorted in clean HTML5 fashion.
However, the camera/video is not yet done.

Surely it can't be that hard?


>From my end, I have a working BBB installation and am happy to let you test html5 client stuff on it.

Regards,
Arjen.
