Meeting

Create a meeting

• You can create meeting in three ways document

1.By Passing Array

\Bigbluebutton::create([
    'meetingID' => 'tamku',
    'meetingName' => 'test meeting',
    'attendeePW' => 'attendee',
    'moderatorPW' => 'moderator'
]); 

2.By passing CreateMeetingParameters object for customize create meeting

use BigBlueButton\Parameters\CreateMeetingParameters;

$meetingParams = new CreateMeetingParameters($meetingID, $meetingName);
$meetingParams->setModeratorPW('moderatorPassword');
$meetingParams->setAttendeePW('attendeePassword');

\Bigbluebutton::create($meetingParams);

3.By passing array it will return CreateMeetingParameters object for overwrite methods

$createMeeting = \Bigbluebutton::initCreateMeeting([
    'meetingID' => 'tamku',
    'meetingName' => 'test meeting',
    'attendeePW' => 'attendee',
    'moderatorPW' => 'moderator',
]);

$createMeeting->setDuration(100); //overwrite default configuration
\Bigbluebutton::create($createMeeting);

Upload slides

• You can upload slides within the create a meeting call. If you do this, the BigBlueButton server will immediately download and process the slides

  \Bigbluebutton::create([
      'meetingID' => 'tamku',
      'meetingName' => 'test meeting',
      'attendeePW' => 'attendee',
      'moderatorPW' => 'moderator',
      'presentation'  => [ //must be array
          ['link' => 'https://www.example.com/doc.pdf', 'fileName' => 'doc.pdf'], //first will be default and current slide in meeting
          ['link' => 'https://www.example.com/php_tutorial.pptx', 'fileName' => 'php_tutorial.pptx'],
      ],
  ]); 

End meeting callback URL

• You can ask the BigBlueButton server to make a callback to your application when the meeting ends. Upon receiving the callback your application could, for example, change the interface for the user to hide the ‘join’ button.

  Note : End meeting callback URL will notify silently, User won't redirect to that page.

  • For testing endCallbackUrl see webhook site

  If you want to redirect users to that page after meeting end then can use logoutURL

\Bigbluebutton::create([
   'meetingID' => 'tamku',
   'meetingName' => 'test meeting',
   'attendeePW' => 'attendee',
   'moderatorPW' => 'moderator',
   'endCallbackUrl'  => 'www.example.com/callback',
   'logoutUrl' => 'www.example.com/logout',
]); 

Recording ready callback URL

• You can ask the BigBlueButton server to make a callback to your application when the recording for a meeting is ready for viewing. Upon receiving the callback your application could, for example, send the presenter an e-mail to notify them that their recording is ready

  Note : Recording ready callback URL will notify silently, User won't redirect to that page.

  • For testing Recording ready callback see webhook site

\Bigbluebutton::create([
    'meetingID' => 'tamku',
    'meetingName' => 'test meeting',
    'attendeePW' => 'attendee',
    'moderatorPW' => 'moderator',
    'bbb-recording-ready-url'  => 'https://example.com/api/v1/recording_status',
