You need a BigBlueButton server installed somewhere (see how to do it in https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/Installation). You will then configure your Rails application to create meetings in this BigBlueButton server. They are separate things, you will have 2 servers: a BigBlueButton (web conference) server and a web application written in Rails that access the BigBlueButton server.

The information you need to enter in the form from your screenshot is:

  • Name: Any string to name your server.
  • URL: The URL of your BigBlueButton server's API, for example: http://my-server.org/bigbluebutton/api.
  • Security salt: The salt, or shared secret, of your BigBlueButton server. You can get it running this command in your BigBlueButton server (version 0.81): bbb-conf --salt.
  • Version: The version of your BigBlueButton server (the latest is 0.81). The supported versions are described in BigbluebuttonRails' wiki: https://github.com/mconf/bigbluebutton_rails#supported-versions
  • String ID: The identifier for this server, used in URLs and other places.
