How was it before?
WebClass is based on the BigBlueButton platform – an opensource software which is convenient and easy to use. Initially, research and educational institutions in Ukraine held WebClass events for a small number of participants and the system coped well with the load. Up to 150-200 people could use the platform simultaneously.
However, the need for online events grew, and with it grew the popularity of the service and the number of participants. It happened that several institutions held several events at the same time (for example, streaming lectures in universities), and the total number of participants reached 300 people or more. Then the limitations of the platform became clear – this load was excessive and URAN had to find a solution.
