Hi all :wave: During this COVID-19 outbreak I find myself wanting to recommend Open edX to teachers, educators, schools and universities who need to move teaching outside of the classroom. However, I do not know of any good live video conferencing solution that would work out of the box on Open edX…

I’ve only personally used it with the demo they gave us access to :smiley: But we’ve referred people to hosted BBB SaaS providers previously like Blindside networks - we don’t typically get into the business of maintaining a billion other SaaS solutions, lord knows Open edX is enough to handle.

Hey. We are trying to integrate zoom on to open edx. Is the LTI Xblock available. How challenging was it to integrate with the open edx platform.

@Diljith , Check if this will be helpful https://openedx.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/mobile?originPath=%2Fbrowse%2FEDUCATOR-4558#issue/EDUCATOR-4558

@Diljith I didn’t have much trouble setting it up but I had to dig in the source code of the lti_consumer xblock. I’m planning on publishing a tutorial or video in the coming days. Unless you’re in a hurry?

Just in case it’s helpful, we have this general guide on using the LTI Consumer XBlock, although it is written to work with the version of it we’re running on Tahoe. Regardless: [image] Adding third-party content to Open edX courses using LTI - Appsembler... Want to use existing training…

WebRTC is a good bet. Bit of configuration and STUN & TURN servers to setup though.

Here is the video and tutorial: How To Stream Live Video Classes in Open edX with Zoom https://youtu.be/3OPz3UxvVnc

Does Open EdX support live/virtual classes delivered by teachers to varying sizes of students? What are the features that are available for the instructor in such a live/virtual class? Many thanks

Thank you Ben. I had a question in a separate thread on AR/VR integration. Is that an area you are familiar with, as well? Thanks for the support in advance.
