Firewall Configuration for BigBlueButton When Connecting to Corporate Networks and VPNs

BigBlueButton uses the following ports which must be open in your firewall:

  • OUT, TCP port 80 (http) and TCP port 443 (https)
  • OUT, UDP ports 16384 - 32768 (audio and video communication)

NOTE: BigBlueButton can also be used without UDP ports enabled as the TURN server can establish a TCP connection for a video conference, too. However, since TCP is conceptually not suited for real-time data such as audio and video, occasional dropouts and crackling may occur.
