Big Blue Button Downloader that downloads a BBB lesson as MP4 video

Big Blue Button (BBB) Downloader

Downloads a BBB lesson as MP4 video, including presentation, audio, webcam and screenshare.

Nevertheless, I would definitely recommend you to record a BBB meeting with OBS, it's more efficient and you have more control over the outcome.

Setup

1. Install Python >=3.7
2. Install ffmpeg
3. Run: pip install bbb-dl as administrator

Usage

usage: bbb-dl [-h] [-aw] [-aa] [-kt] [-v] [-ncc] [--version] [--encoder ENCODER] [--audiocodec AUDIOCODEC] [-f FILENAME] URL
