[CommunityBridge - Movie Nights] New BBB Features + Live Streaming - Joy!!!!

[MovieNight Mailing List]

Hello Friends,

Lots of good news. Our monthly BBB hosting fee has gone from $450 to
$250 as of this month. This means if a few people subscribe for $5-10 a
month, it will pay for itself. If a lot more people subscribe, we can
all decide what to do with the excess $.  Yes, I am still planning on
working on setting up an optional subscription method, I just get upset
when I think of what money does to people so I am incredibly slow at it.

Our server at CommunityBridge.com BBB has been upgraded to the latest
release version BigBlueButton V2.3.4 and we have some new features
available:

1. Easily raise your hand
2. The Polling interface is enhanced for typing a poll question and
allowing a text response to the poll
3. You can now make up to 16 Breakout rooms
4. You can change your Guest Policy from inside of the room to ask
people to wait for a moderate to enter, or make the room open to the
public or private
5. No more Echo test!
6. Microphone adjustments and connectivity status are both inside of the
room
7. Upload several presentations and manage them
8. Palm rejection to make it easier to draw or write on a cell phone or
tablet
9. Grant or deny whiteboard access to individuals

There are also multiple fixes for some iOS devices that were causing a
few errors for those with iPhones and mac tablets as well as Safari.
Here is the official list of what is new:

We now have a 2nd server running BBB that allows LIVE
Streaming/Broadcasting to Youtube etc. If you are interested, respond
and I will send more information.

If you would like to make a deeper commitment and join a cooperative
built around BigBlueButton hosting, take a look at https://meet.coop we
are working on the governance now!
