    "Best video chat software by far!"

    Posted 2020-07-05

    Pros: BigBlueButton is the best option I have seen for large audience video chatting. It is free software and it protects your privacy. You can customize and extend BigBlueButton. There is no better choice.

    Cons: The fact that there is no budget to market BigBlueButton and not many people know about it.

    Overall: The ease of use is amazing. The documentation for setting up your own server. The Documentation and easily found guidance when doing a search online is awesome! I am so happy I found BigBlueButton that I recommend it to all and have set up a server where I offer free chatrooms for people and groups to be able to preserve their privacy.
