Video conferencing available for New Zealand educators
All kura, early-childhood centers and schools are invited to trial our video conferencing system hosted in New Zealand. Our system is listed as part of the Ministry of Education's official guidance for early learning services, schools and kura investigating video conferencing tools. The system is called "BigBlueButton" and has been designed specifically for educators - learn more about BigBlueButton, see its community support, FAQs, it's accessibility, and watch a video of it in action.

More information
NZOSS offers several digital services for New Zealand-based individuals and organisations.
As part of our COVID-19 response, we have negotiated with the Ministry of Education for our BigBlueButton video conferencing system to be listed alongside international players such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
The service is provided by NZOSS volunteers, with hosting generously donated by Catalyst Cloud.
