Why after installing new Bigbluebutton on VMware, it shows empty blue screen?


I installed a new fresh Bigbluebutton server on VMware without domain and SSL, after installing bbb-demo when I logged in, it showed an empty blue screen. In the browser console this exception was written:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'ondevicechange' of undefined

The last time when I face a similar situation, I try to set a self-signed SSL but it just makes lots of problems and it didn't work.

How I could solve this error?


Solution

  • Finally, I've solved the problem. In this address ffdixon(product manager for BigBlueButton) said:

    We need to update the docs -- you must setup an SSL certificate for BigBlueButton or it won't load. If you see "Not Secure" on your browser URL, BigBlueButton will not load.

    I didn't have any valid IP or domain for my VM, So I created a valid SSL with one other domain(not belong to my VMware) and setup bbb to use SSL based on this article.Then set /etc/host to redirect SSL domain name to my local IP.
