Use BigBlueButton as your call provider in Zulip
You can configure BigBlueButton as the call provider for your organization. Users will be able to start a BigBlueButton call and invite others using the add video call () or add voice call () button in the compose box.

**Note:** This is currently only possible on self-hosted Zulip
installations, and you'll need a BigBlueButton server.
Configure BigBlueButton as your call provider
By default, Zulip integrates with Jitsi Meet, a fully-encrypted, 100% open source video conferencing solution. You can configure Zulip to use BigBlueButton as your call provider instead.
