mapping inbound caller-id to a bbb user in listeners window would be neat, but
not sure how easy that is :) Might be able to have freeswitch change the
caller id to friendly name with db lookup, then join so listener name appears.
I already use x-lite and can control name in listeners window, using bbbuser
secret
but dont want to give that out to users....

If "BigBlueButton launches an external SIP client" can mean opens a web page
then [6] seems to have a proof-of-concept built on Adhearsion, see below. Not
sure to what extent using Asterisk is an issue rather than Freeswitch?
- Adhearsion[1] and [2] (click-to-call example [3], others [4]) uses Ruby to create voice-enabled applications on top of Asterisk

Hi Hedgehog,
We're not familiar with Adhersion, but we're thinking along the lines of
experimenting launching an external SiP client via a URL (see:
http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3261.html#sec-19.1.6).
The browser initially wouldn't recognize the MIME type, but if the user
associated it with their SIP client, we could prototype providing all the
information needed in the SIP URL for the client to connect.
A use case scenario would be:
1. Join the BigBlueButton session through their browser.
In the chat window is a link that reads User clicks SIP URL in the chat window
Welcome to this BigBlueButton demo server. This server is running 0.71a.
For help see _tutorial videos_.
To join the voice conference:
(1) click the headset icon in the upper-left, or
(2) dial 613-366-1985 and enter conference ID: 74665.
(3) Click _Launch SIP Client_
2. The user clicks _Launch SIP Client_
The SIP client launches and they are communicating directly with asterisk or
FreeSWITCH.
Of course, the downside of the above is that the user's would need to have a
separate SIP client installed, but with a bit of support, there could be
scenarios where a teacher would used a SIP client to connect, whereas the
students would stay with the built-in VoIP.

Adhearsion is a convenience library on the server side, see [0].
In [1] there is a HTML-page-as-SIP-client proof of concept in javascript.
I'm working on Chef for BBB right now so haven't yet delved into the BBB client
code - maybe launching a web page as a HTML-dialog-box is tricky?
HTH?

It's been a while since I've looked at Adhearsion.
What I have played with is to start a SIP app in the user's machine to join the
conference.
I have a webpage with the following.
<a href="sip:74341@192.168.0.166">Call me </a>
I have also installed Linphone on my PC. When I click on the link, the browser
prompts me on what application I want to handle the SIP url. I chose Linphone
and I got connected into the conference.
I just tried this a couple of times and was surprised the delay was larger than
using BBB-voip. More investigation is needed and how to handle this seamlessly
on the backend. Aso, what setting will provide the optimum performance
minimizing the delay as much as possible.

To update the issue for the external SIP Client for the Bigbluebutton. Coral
CEA team was working on developing an external SIP client solution.
Phase 1 of the plan was to be able to implement a customized stand-alone SIP
phone for the Bigbluebutton that would be pre-configured to connect the user
automatically to the Bigbluebutton conference bridge.
Phase 2 was to implement a Java Applet SIP Client that would be attached to the
Bigbluebutton client in the same manner as the Desktop share app.
A prototype for the Bigbluebutton SIP phone is available for Windows OS only.
It implemented as proof of concept for testing the quality of the voice for a
customized SIP phone. The SIP phone was based on the Opensoftshone project that
is based on the PjSIP stack.
As for the SIP Client applet, we used the MjSIP SIP stack. The applet seems to
work well within the Bigbluebutton and using Asterisk as a SIP Server. We
hadn't tested it with FreeSWITCH yet.
There are issue with capturing the audio streams and issues also with running
the applet on Safari and Firefox on Mac computers.
The SIP Client applet is still under development, so for more details about the
stand-alone SIP phone and the applet you can check out the details on the
Bigbluebutton SIP Client page (
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/BigbluebuttonSIPClient ) on the
Bigbluebutton Project wiki under Bigbluebutton labs.
As always, help with improvements and testing is welcomed.

Hi!
If/when it becomes possible to use a desktop SIP client, I intend to use Jitsi
(formerly SIP Communicator) which is very interesting.
Other options can be found here:

Hi Marc,
Nadia has put more up-to-date information on the BigBlueButton labs project for
SIP phone. See
