What is CommunityBridge?
CommunityBridge is a website that uses a video conferencing platform called BigBlueButton (BBB). When you create your own room on CommunityBridge, you get a unique link that you can use to access your video chat room. This link stays the same unless you decide to change it. You do not need to download any special software to use BBB – it works right in your web browser on most devices.
I am thrilled to bring you CommunityBridge. This site is running an instance of BigBlueButton, an encrypted video chat platform that is feature rich, FREE and open source software. Once you create an account, you can host events, show movies, give presentations, host team meetings, compose documents together, do interviews or gather to engage in deep and meaningful discussions. You can record your sessions and share the video. You can also retain your PRIVACY on CommunityBridge. This is the destination that starts the trip.
An Exceptional Video Conferencing Platform
Rooms provide video conferencing as well as a shared notes document, a multi-user whiteboard, a public and private text chat feature, embedded video for sharing movies, screen sharing, a presentation mode, breakout rooms, polls, recording, live analytics, and more. The landing page to your room can be customized, with images and a description of your organization, etc. See the list of FEATURES.
A Versatile Meeting Space
Once using CommunityBridge you will be able to manage meetings with a whiteboard and upload slides, both of which can be annotated. The display and layout of speakers and presentations can be customized. Because each meeting has a unique URL, you can open multiple tabs and view multiple rooms at once, this is helpful when using breakout rooms or hosting a conference. Big Blue Button is a platform currently widely used in universities and high schools as part of online courseware. It was built for interactivity and designed to facilitate inclusive discussion.
A Better Way to Chat, Share, and Document
Attendees have access to the entire text chat history including what was posted before entering. The chat also persists for every attendee regardless of whether they leave and rejoin the meeting or arrive at the meeting late. Additionally, both chat and the shared notes document can be downloaded at any time, or exported to multiple formats.
A Better Form of Privacy
On the surface CommunityBridge is a really cool video chat platform powered by BigBlueButton. If you dig a little bit deeper, you will find that BBB is FREE (as in free speech) and Open Source software that protects the privacy of all attendees. We offer this space for people to have a safer place to meet and enjoy friendship and cooperation. Easy ways to protect yourself and others.
