BigBlueButton 2.7.0-rc.2
Pre-release
This iteration of BigBlueButton 2.7 contains several fixes. The feature of downloading original presentation file has been enhanced - you can pick between pre or post conversion file. Grid mode layout now supports pagination - the default configuration is that you will only see 48 boxes in the grid (14 on mobile) and the rest will be on the next page(s). All BigBlueButton 2.6.x fixes have been included up to and including 2.6.12.
We welcome any feedback about this release on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list
Note that BigBlueButton 2.7 runs on Ubuntu Focal (20.04).
BigBlueButton 2.7-dev is under active development. While we don’t recommend setting it up in a production environment, we do encourage administrators to try out the build with others and give us feedback on our bigbluebutton-dev mailing list.
