Dru,

Your report encouraged me to try BBB again (my first attempt everything  
just hung -- maybe it was a bad day).

The quality appeared to be very good. It's the only thing I've tried  
(other than Zoom) where the video might be good enough for what I'm  
doing.

But, when I just tried it:

- No recordings
- Time limit of 60 minutes
- One one webcam enabled (for the "instructor")

I'm assuming that these three items are only because I signed up for  
the default "free" account. But it isn't really obvious how I go about  
getting a different kind of account, or how much that would cost.

Can you shed any light on this?

Thanks!
