BBB Front-end died in front of Willy Cats-Baril

Unintended consequence of messing around with BBB front end caused php error while Willy Cats-Baril attempting on-line seminar. The good news is Willy, Nick Gingrow, and Erin Montgomery (Graduate Programs Coordinator, UVM School of Business) all said they have been pleased with BigBlueButton itself. It was a bug in the front-end I wrote that caused the panic. I’ve been fiddling with that code, working on a feature that accepts targeted URLs for connections. These can be put on webpages or in emails, for example

I showed this to Nick and Erin this morning, and they were quite pleased. We all connected on BBB, and I showed them some debuting tools, including this browser check

this incident also prompted me to include disclaimers here https://www.uvm.edu/ctl/apps/bbb/
