My hosting cooperative Hostsharing runs BigBlueButton on Debian
machines. We recently made a stress test with 47 participants to see
what requirements are needed in reality.

BBB is running pretty stable on the server side. Participants should
have a decent internet connection as bandwith is paramount especially if
many participants stream video and audio.

We wrote a report about our test in German.

Use a translation server if you want to read it all but the figures
should be clear enough.

Don't feed the next big corp that spies on us. ;-)
