Zulip supports using Big Blue Button as its video call video call provider. This is currently only possible on self-hosted Zulip installations.
To use the Big Blue Button video call integration, you'll need to have a Big Blue Button server and configure your zulip server to use that Big Blue Button server.

Get the Shared Secret using the
bbb-conf --secretcommand on your Big Blue Button Server. See also Big Blue Button documentation. -
Get the URL to your Big Blue Button API. The URL has the form of
https://bigbluebutton.example.com/bigbluebutton/and can also be found using thebbb-conf --secretcommand.
