Word is getting around about the existence of the KPH BigBlueButton Server, which is why we will restrict free access from now on:
All users of the KPH BigBlueButton server are asked to write a short email (with time and estimated number of participants) to distler@uni-mainz.de if they are planning a video conference with ≥4 participants or an audio conference with ≥20 participants .
