New functions / preferences or other important things:
- Status/Videoconference: add support for BigBlueButton videoconferencing, it can be configured via Status app’s site-configuration
It is now possible to use BigBlueButton (BBB) as a video conferencing system.
You can save the configurations for Jitsi and BBB, but of course you can only use one.
We recommend as BBB provider our partner bbbserver.com

BigBlueButton-Integration
The free trial package is also sufficient for testing:
https://bbbserver.de/preise/
Please do not forget to transmit the Partner Connect ID immediately after registration !
=> by e-mail to info@egroupware.org
The website is currently only in German. However, BBB can be switched to English.
The integration is designed generically. Basically any BBB should work. Just try it. Feedback with a description of the constellation is welcome.
If required, it is also possible to realize a more extensive integration. If you are interested, just write to info@egroupware.org.
The BBB server, like Jitsi, is configured under
Admin/Admin/Applications/Status/Site configuration
made:
If a BBB provider such as bbbserver.de is used and billing is based on maximum simultaneous connections, the maximum number of connections must be entered.
After that, ad-hoc or scheduled conferences can be initiated/scheduled, as already with a Jitsi configuration.
EGroupware tracks the maximum number of required connections via a created resource and reacts accordingly if too many connections are booked. The resource is thus also entered for an appointment.
For ad-hoc connections, an appointment is also created to count the number of connections.

- Collabora: support Collabora Online 6.4
Fixes for using Collabora Online 6.4.
After further testing, we will soon release Collabora Online 6.4. Release notes will follow…
- Admin/EMail: display administrative IMAP actions folder ACL and vacation notice in IMAP tab too
In email accounts (group accounts, with mail admin credentials entered), the ACL and vacation notice are now also displayed in the IMAP tab.
- Mail: Config setting for how many mailing lists are returned in address search results
For the automatic address search, the number of hits for mailing lists can now be limited. This prevents overlong searches with very many mailing lists.
- SmallPART: CSV export of comments for course-owner and students own comments and recording time of comments
It is now possible in smallPART to download the comments as a csv file:
