BigBlueButton recording storage calculator
Estimate storage from monthly recorded hours and retention. Actual output varies by webcam activity, screen sharing and enabled playback formats.
Keep three storage jobs separate
Live processing. Fast local NVMe helps capture and post-processing while meetings are active.
Published retention. Capacity planning determines how long recordings remain available to users.
Independent backup. A second copy with tested recovery protects against deletion, corruption and operator error.
