About BigBlueButton
BigBlueButton's 4.0 beta defaults to a Unified layout and ships a WASM audio processor.
BigBlueButton is running two parallel tracks: aggressive maintenance on the 3.0 line (six security-and-improvement releases between January and March, with LiveKit audio stabilization the recurring theme) and a 4.0 beta cycle that just hit beta.3 with substantial UX work. v4.0.0-beta.3 makes the Unified layout the default, adds a WASM-based audio processor on the mic stream, introduces user search, a 3-state presenter lock policy, pinned moderator messages, a viewer 'Request to Become Presenter' flow, and Ubuntu 24.04 support.
