Configuring TURN

Configuration

The configuration files can be found on the BBB Configuration page.

Disable Echo Test

Edit /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml - if this file does not exist then run:

cp /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings.yml /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml

Then edit the properties you want.

Troubleshooting

ICE error 1107, video not working

After initial installation, room members couldn't activate video, all getting Connection failed: ICE error 1107, which is a known issue in Github. This is most likely that UDP is not getting through to the server. You can test UDP as follows:

On the target machine being tested:

nc -ulp PORT

And on the machine sending the tests:

nc -u SERVER PORT

Then type text and hit enter, it should be echoed on the server.

If it's not, check the firewall status and disable:

ufw status
ufw disable

If you still are having issues, setup a TURN server which should significantly improve reliability.
