- How to disable link in Chat area:
Modify
sudo vi /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties
Set “defaultWelcomeMessageFooter” property to empty or perhaps html break tag. Restart nginx to see effect.
- How to modify the footer:
For this, you will first have to setup a development environment, following url explains how to do this. https://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/081DevelopingBigBlueButton
Then change “bbb.mainshell.copyrightLabel2” property in ~/dev/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton–client/locale/en_US/bbbResources.properties
Afterwards rebuild your client using “ant locales”, and copy output file: en_us_resources.swf to /var/www/bigbluebutton/client/locale.
NOTE: You might need to restart the bigbluebutton server once in the end. Also I have used locale en_US for example, you should modify inside the locale you are working with.
To disable messages in chat area
edit /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/bigbluebutton/web-inf/class/bigbluebutton.properties.
change the fields defaultWelcomeMessage and defaultWelcomeMessageFooter to any customized message according to your own requirements.
Restart nginx and bigbluebutton(sudo bbb-conf –restart)
To disable the bigbluebutton copyright and version message
edit /var/www/bigbluebutton-default/index.html
scroll to the bottom of the document and edit/remove the row div in the html file.
NOTE- Before doing this you may have to change the permissions of the index file (Exp- sudo chmod 777 /var/www/bigbluebutton-default.index.html)
