Canvas LMS BigBlueButton Default Settings Plug-in

Plugin for the Canvas LMS theme app that lets you change the default options when creating a new BigBlueButton conference.

Features

The following configurable options are available:

• Set the default conference duration.
• Whether the conference should be recorded.
• Whether there is a time limit set on the conference.

• Remove unnecessary padding at the bottom of the form.
