BigBlueButton has native integration with Canvas. You can enable Canvas Conferences from the Site using BigBlueButton API Credentials.
For a Self-hosted Canvas Site, please follow the below Guide,
If you are using the Canvas LMS Paid version or Enterprise plan, please Email your Customer Success Manager (CSM) at Instructure so they can make the necessary changes.
You need to obtain the BigBlueButton API Credentials before following this guide or contacting the Instructure Team.
BigBlueButton API URL and Secret should look like this:
URL : https://bbb.yourdomain.com/bigbluebutton/
SECRET : mqZgKaue7g3Lg0jA32Pi1TEpRzusK7P19wIKqJ0n
If you want to Test the Integration first before Subscribing to a BigBlueButton Hosting Plan, you may get the TEST API Credentials for Development and Testing.
Integration Guide
First, go to Admin -> Plugins, and then click the gear icon for BigBlueButton.
You’ll see the plugin settings for BigBlueButton. Uncheck “Disable this Plugin” and you’ll be prompted to enter the Domain and Shared Secret for your BigBlueButton server.
The Domain is the hostname of the BigBlueButton URL (“bbb.yourdomain.com” only, not the complete Link) and Secret is exactly the value of SECRET, also referred to as Security Salt sometimes.
