Description


Today, video conferencing technology has a wide audience. Virtual audio and video conferences provide the ability to talk to people in different places without the need to move people. This technology is especially suitable for business users in different cities or even different countries. Because it saves time, money and hassle related to business travel.


Today, the use of video conferencing has increased and includes such things as holding daily meetings, negotiating and doing business, interviewing people, teaching and virtual education, and so on.


In this short course, we will learn how to set up Jitsi and BigBlueButton on a private server so that you can use this technology in a personalized way. You can set up a video conferencing service on the main domain of your website to chat with your staff or teach your students. Both services are open source and you can customize the service depending on your needs.
