For teams past their first BigBlueButton server
Every BigBlueButton server you run, behind one API and one screen.
Your learning platform keeps calling the address it always has. Behind it, ZcaleRight picks the machine that takes the class, keeps it there until the last person leaves, files the recording in one library, and puts the whole fleet on a single page — instead of six terminal windows and an educated guess.
Your integrations keep calling the BigBlueButton API they already use. Only the address and the shared secret change.
Moodle, Canvas, your LMS
One address, one shared secret

The difference in practice
The same question, two ways to answer it.
At the command line
$ docker exec -it scalelite-api /bin/sh$ ./bin/rake status$ ./bin/rake meetings:list$ ./bin/rake serversCommands as documented by Scalelite. Each of them needs shell access to the container — which is not something you hand to whoever is staffing the phone.
In the browser
- Which server a meeting is on — and every later call follows it there.
- How loaded each server is, which pool it belongs to, and whether it is taking traffic.
- Join a live meeting as technical support while the class is still running.
- Find a recording, check its state, publish or remove it.
There are 69 capabilities in 12 groups, and they are all listed in one place rather than summarised twice.

Why not just run Scalelite?
Often you should. It is free, it is open source, and if you have a team to operate it that is the right answer. The full comparison sets out where the two differ and who should not pay us.
BigBlueButton Certified Service Provider
Built and supported by RIADVICE
The team that builds ZcaleRight also runs BigBlueButton clusters in production every day, as a BigBlueButton Certified Service Provider. Every feature in it exists because that work needed it first.
