Migration guide

How to migrate from Zoom to BigBlueButton

Video calls don't have "data" to migrate beyond past recordings — the real work is reconnecting your calendar and notifying regular participants.

1. 1

   Download important recordings from Zoom

   If you record meetings, download the recordings you need to keep — most providers delete them a few months after you cancel the account.

2. 2

   Set up BigBlueButton on your calendar

   Install BigBlueButton's integration with Google Calendar/Outlook to automatically generate meeting links when creating an event, just like you did with Zoom.

3. 3

   Update recurring rooms

   Replace the Zoom link in your recurring meetings (standups, 1:1s) with the new BigBlueButton link — also check email signatures and public "contact" pages.

4. 4

   Do a full-team test call

   Before relying on BigBlueButton for an important meeting, do a test call with the whole team to catch audio/video or firewall issues ahead of time.

These steps are a general guideline — the exact export menu can vary depending on Zoom's plan and version.
