+# bbb-recorder
+
+Bigbluebutton recordings to `webm` or `mp4`. This is an example how I have implemented BBB recordings to distibutable file. 
+
+
+1. Videos will be copied to `/var/www/bigbluebutton-default/record`
+3. Can converted to `mp4`. Default `webm`
+2. Specify bitrate to control quality of the exported video by adjusting `videoBitsPerSecond` property in `background.js`
+
+
+### Dependencies
+
+1. xvfb (`apt install xvfb`)
+2. npm modules listed in package.json (`npm install`)
+
+### Usage
+
+Clone the project first:
+
+```javascript
+git clone https://github.com/jibon57/bbb-recorder
+cd bbb-recorder
+npm install
+```
+
+Now run:
+
+```sh
+node export.js "https://BBB_HOST/playback/presentation/2.0/playback.html?meetingId=MEETING_ID" meeting.webm 10 true
+```
+
+### Options
+
+You can pass 4 args
+
+1) BBB recording link
+2) Export file name. Should be `.webm` at end
+3) Duration of recording in seconds. Default 10 seconds
+4) Convert to mp4 or not (true for convert to mp4). Default false
+
+### How it will work?
+When you will run the command that time `chromium` browser will be open in background & visit the link & perform screen recording. So, if you have set 10 seconds then it will record 10 seconds only. Later it will give you file as webm or mp4.
+
+**Note: It will use huge CPU to process chrome & ffmpeg.** 
+
+
+
+Thanks to [@muralikg](https://github.com/muralikg/puppetcam). Everything was copied from there & I did some adjustment.
