What does "Enable waiting room" mean?

[akiraueda2014]

Hi.

I wanted to make "my recorded BBB session" posted longer.

How can I do it?

Is the feature related to "Enable waiting room"?

Hi there, @akiraueda2014 ...

I think that @ffdixon might be able to help answer this question for you...so I've tagged him in this post hoping that he'll be able to chime in.

Thanks!

Hi, I’m Fred Dixon, the product manager for BigBlueButton.  While I don’t work at Instructure and can’t speak on their behalf, I can answer your question.

There is a Free Tier built-into Canvas, and with that the recordings will last for 7 days.

Are you on the Free-for-teacher or using BigBlueButton at your educational organization?

If you are on the Free-for-teacher, the length of the recordings are fixed at 7 days.

If you are at an educational organization, your school has the option to upgrade to the Premium Tier which will give you permanent recordings.  To explore further, contact your CSM.

Regards,.. Fred
