We've identified an issue in the recently released Chrome 143 that prevents sharing a browser tab in screen sharing from working in BigBlueButton. We have a fix in place and are rolling it out now. The fix should be available to all users within the next 24 - 48 hours. As a workaround, we recommend any user wanting to share a browser tab in Chrome 143 to share application or full screen instead.

Updates rolled out over the weekend. Sharing of browser tab in Chrome 143 now works again. As an added bonus, Chrome on Mac OS X now supports sharing of system audio when sharing desktop!

We've rolled out an update to our servers to resolve this issue. Uploaded presentations should now be displaying normally again.

Some users may notice longer than normal processing time due to an isolated issue with a third-party infrastructure provider. Only a limited number of recordings are affected, and all should complete within 24 hours.

Hi everyone, On Monday, September 25, we detected an regression introduced in an upgrade to our infrastructure over the weekend. The regression would have manifested as, for some BigBlueButton sessions, the instructor could start and enter the sessions, but students could not join. Under the hood, there was a race condition in the state of the live session where our infrastructure did not return the sessions as 'active', which is the criteria for front-ends - such as Moodle, Canvas, and Schoology - to show the Join button for students to join and enter. We began receiving reports of issues early Monday morning and, after determining the underlying cause, we reverted the upgrade at around 11:00 AM ET. At that point, all subsequent sessions should have started/joined normally. We've added additional checks to ensure this issue doesn't occur again, and we apologize for any disruptions this may have caused in sessions. Regards,... Blindside Networks Team

As of Wednesday, Sept. 14th, we are seeing new meetings from Canvas with the following lock settings enabled by default: Share webcam See other viewers' webcams Share microphone Send Public chat messages Send Private chat messages We are working with Instructure to further investigate the cause of the lock settings being enabled by default. The workaround, for now, is that moderators can manually unlock these settings once the meeting has begun. For more information on lock, settings see: https://support.blindsidenetworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024409172-Lock-viewer-s-ability-to-use-their-mic-webcam-chat-shared-notes
