BigBlueButton: Make Your BigBlueButton Sessions Inclusive with Subtitles

BigBlueButton is a popular choice for online education, remote learning, and webinars, but without subtitles, you might be missing an opportunity to make your sessions more accessible. Subtitles are incredibly valuable for students or participants who are hearing impaired, as well as for those who may be watching without sound. They also make it easier for non-native speakers to understand the material, which is a huge plus for educators reaching diverse audiences.


With Happy Scribe, adding subtitles to BigBlueButton is a breeze:

  • Upload your recorded sessions to Happy Scribe for fast, precise transcription.

  • Edit and refine your subtitles to ensure that they match the tone and pacing of your presentation.

  • Export in BigBlueButton-compatible formats like SRT or VTT, so they’re easy to integrate into your sessions for a more inclusive learning experience.
