There is also a possibility to enter multiple rooms in the shortcode to let the user choose the room that they want to join. The student can simply click Join from the page where the shortcode is added and enter the BBB room where the teacher can initiate a virtual classroom session.

One was related to changing the setting to the local time so I could schedule online sessions (Eastern time wasn’t available). The other ( evidently) was related to a conflict with my installation that prevented Virtual Classroom’s [shortcodes] from displaying. Each time I sent a description of a problem, I received a quick response and an update that resolved it. The developer / support person accompanied each response with a statement that assured the his continued support. He also solicited suggestions for improvement with each response. I still have a lot to learn, so I’m happy with the plugin and for the support behind it. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e5928c4852b88478fa3fe303b215810d864f5380f0754bb6829f7a70665d8755? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent plugin & superfast support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-superfast-support-4/)󠁿 [ankapweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ankapweb/) February 17, 2024 2 replies Excellent plugin that allows you to easily and reliably connect to the BBB server of your choice and provide educational services through your wordpress site. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7a8286d00f46fc1d1fa1d2646b3e6c8d8671b858065ae810112e0799c0bd273b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Goog plugin, good support…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/goog-plugin-good-support/)󠁿 [brozina](https://profiles.wordpress.org/brozina/) February 12, 2024 2 replies The plugin does what it is supposed to do.
