GreenLight is a simple (but powerful) front-end interface for your BigBlueButton server. At its core, GreenLight provides a minimalistic web-based application that lets users
- Create a meeting
- Invite others to the meeting
- Join a meeting
Furthermore, if you configure GreenLight to use either Google, Twitter (both via OAuth2) or LDAP for authentication, users can login to record meetings and manage recordings.
For a overview of how GreenLight works, see the following video
We designed GreenLight to install on a BigBlueButton 1.1-beta (or later) server. This means you don't need a separate server to run GreenLight.
For more informaiton see Installing GreenLight.
GreenLight is a rails 5 application.
Many developers already know Rails well, and we wanted to create both a full front-end to BigBlueButton but also a reference implementation of how to fully leverage the BigBlueButton API.
We invite you to build upon GreenLight and help make it better. See Contributing to BigBlueButton.
We invite your feedback, questions, and suggests about GreenLight too. Please post them to the developer mailing list.
