Felipe Cecagno fea7486ae3 implemented the possibility to include the desktop sharing streams to the presentation playback; it composes the presentation video file just like the other video streams, with the difference that while the screen is being sharing, it appears as the unique video stream in the presentation video - when the presenter stops sharing his screen, the other videos populate the video display;
also, the output video resolution is modified to the highest screen resolution shared during the conference, independently on the output video resolution set by the user; it was done to preserve the quality of the desktop sharing image; if there's no desktop sharing, the output video resolution is respected

BigBlueButton

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for distance education.

It supports sharing of slides (PDF and any document readable by OpenOffice), webcams, whiteboard, chat, voice over IP (using FreeSWITCH), and presenter's desktop. It can record and playback sessions (slides, audio, and chat), runs on Mac, Unix, and PC computers, and is supported by a [community of developers] (http://www.bigbluebutton.org/support/) that care about good design and a streamlined user experience.

The use cases for BigBlueButton are

  • One-to-one on-line tutoring
  • Small group collaboration
  • On-line classes (25 or less)

BigBlueButton is built using over [fifteen open source projects] (http://www.bigbluebutton.org/components/).

Getting Started

All the core information is at the [Google Code project page] (http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/). Here are a few quick links

After watching the videos, if you want to immediately try out BigBlueButton, the project maintains a live [demo server] (http://demo.bigbluebutton.org) that anyone can join.
