2. BigBlueButton

[BigBlueButton](https://bigbluebutton.org/) provides video conferencing and a lot more, to facilitate and improve online teaching. This includes an interactive whiteboard that the presenter can use alone, or all participants can share as a whiteboard, or on which anyone can create presentation material. The solution also offers extensive Moderation and collaboration opportunities, so-called "breakout rooms", to temporarily split a group into smaller groups, and a lot more.

In addition to the [demo instance](https://demo.bigbluebutton.org/gl/), Teckids e.V. provide their own BigBlueButton instance, which is specifically provided for Educational use. The address for the latter is [bbb.teckids.org](https://bbb.teckids.org).

5. Mumble

No registration is required to use Mumble. However, if you want to be able to save conference rooms permanently, that requires you to complete a simple, one-time registration that is done within Mumble. (self -> Register in the menu). A Teckids account is not necessary.

6. EduVid

Where can I find EduVid?

As mentioned above, a Teckids account is required in order to access some of our services. Registration is free. The terms of use and the operation of the services allow students to register without any legal hurdles.

Anybody can [register for an account](https://ticdesk.teckids.org/account/register). via our administrative software ([TIC-Desk](https://ticdesk.teckids.org)). It is important to use correct/valid data as we have to block accounts with obviously incorrect data. The required personal data fulfil the German legal requirements both of "data frugality" and protection of the young.

[Teckids e.V.](https://www.teckids.org/) is a non-profit organization in which pupils, educators and computer scientists work together to develop Free Software, not only educational software, but also software useful for supporting educators in their work. Our team are doing their best to expand the services we offer, in response to the current situation. We would particularly like to thank Kirill Schmidt, Benedict Suska, Tom Teichler, Philipp Stahl, Jakob Kirsch and Jonah D�ll (ages 10 to 16) for their work.

We welcome offers of support (either financial or practical) where they help to ease the challenges we face.
