As someone who runs a BigBlueButton cluster, I can say it's not really suited for meetings with more than 100 people. So it probably wasn't suitable for big events like RIPE 80, but perhaps it would work for the webinar? One thing to note is Zoom has since stopped people being able to use the web browser version without creating an account. -- James Andrewartha Network & Projects Engineer Christ Church Grammar School Claremont, Western Australia Ph.
