In case you do not have any BBB server installation to access, you can create your own BBB meeting room on the BBB server itself - connect to and can use the free BBB from the BBB site https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/gl

==== Can I upload Microsoft Office documents to BigBlueButton? ====
 +
Yes. BigBlueButton uses LibreOffice 4.3 for converting Microsoft Office documents into PDF for display in BigBlueButton.
 +
If possible, for best results, save your Word or PowerPoint document as PDF. If you are using Office 2007, we recommend using LibreOffice free download to save any document to PDF.
 +
 
 +
==== Will my animations and videos in Slide presentations (pptx/odp) convert when uploaded? ====
 +
No
 +
 
 +
Reason is: When you upload your documents, BigBlueButton will convert it to PDF (using LibreOffice) and then finally to scalable vector graphics (SVG) for display within the client.
 +
 
 +
The conversion to PDF will remove any animations (visual or audio), links, and embedded content. At the end of the conversion, you’ll see the final slide within BigBlueButton.
