# Greenlight
GreenLight is a simple (but powerful) front-end interface for your BigBlueButton server. At its core, GreenLight provides a minimalistic web-based application that lets users
* Create a meeting
* Invite others to the meeting
* Join a meeting
Furthermore, if you configure GreenLight to use either Google, Twitter (both via OAuth2) or LDAP for authentication, users can login to record meetings and manage recordings.
## Overview video
For a overview of how GreenLight works, see the following video

## Installation on the BigBlueButton server
We designed GreenLight to install on a [BigBlueButton 1.1-beta](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/greenlight-v1.html) (or later) server. This means you don't need a separate server to run GreenLight.
For more informaiton see [Installing GreenLight](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/greenlight-v1.html#installing-greenlight).
# Source Code
GreenLight is a rails 5 application.
Many developers already know Rails well, and we wanted to create both a full front-end to BigBlueButton but also a reference implementation of how to fully leverage the [BigBlueButton API](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html).
We invite you to build upon GreenLight and help make it better. See [Contributing to BigBlueButton](http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/support/faq.html#contributing-to-bigbluebutton).
We invite your feedback, questions, and suggests about GreenLight too. Please post them to the [developer mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/bigbluebutton-dev).
