Feedback on the new de.meet.coop server

Hi folks,

As you can see from Meet.coop update October 2025 - #55 by wouter , we have a new de.meet.coop server.

We’re currently working on getting the meet.coop branding onto it. We’d also appreciate any feedback from members about changes they would like that existed on the old servers or you always wanted and also we have to be strategic with mine, @Graham and Nick’s time.

Note that we’re now on the 3.x series of Big Blue Button and Greenlight so it probably won’t be exactly the same as before.

For example @wouter kicked this process off:

Hi @kawaiipunk!

Yves from Remix.

I tried the new server yesterday - one on one session. Looks good. We’ll have a meeting on it with more people (Canada and Europe) next week. I’ll let you know how it went.

CoTech is going to have to move away from using BBB due to the lack of sub-titles, could this feature be added so we can stay?

I think many groups would value that feature. I have no clue how much effort it is to add though.

Thank you, looking forward to trying this out!

FWIW as commented on Meet.coop update October 2025 - #57 by flancian , Social\.coop users are currently not able to log in to de.meet.coop; Social\.coop would like it if authentication could be set up so our users work in de\.meet\.coop, or if we could define next steps towards our coop members being able to use this service.

Thanks again!

Thanks for letting us know about this @flancian. We were working on the assumption that the users on the SSO (keycloak) app all had flat access to both Big Blue Button servers.

The problem that’s preventing us from solving this for you is me and Nick don’t have access to the Keycloak “master realm” which is the admin group for that server. We currently have access to a normal user account. Essentially the problem is that the people that did have access are not present or for whatever reason haven’t been able to get us the access we need.

We believe that you might have other access controls set or some some sort of external SSO intergradation that we don’t have visibility of. If you have any records of what was done or any visibility into how your accounts were created/setup. Please let us know.

Our current plan is to force our way in by migrating the Keycloak database into a new deployment of the app by merging it in after creating proper admin accounts for ourselves.

Me and Nick are coworking again on Thursday so we will try and accelerate our efforts to get this sorted. We’re trying our best. It’s just a really hard problem.

The only thing we can offer in the meantime is to share a single standard user account that I already have access to if that is of any help?

Mirrored image. Several people have observed recently and communicated to me that the current BBB server is configured to not mirror one’s own webcam image. This looks therefore mirrored to oneself, yep confusing huh? But it does make sense to mirror one’s own webcam image by default, so your right hand is really on the right side of your screen. We used to adjust the appropriate setting in the server config. Could you adjust that, @kawaiipunk ?
