BBBerror

for BigBlueButton

Code 3005

Category: Connection

Message shown in BigBlueButton

Data is loading slowly. Reconnection in progress (code 3005)

What it means

Data arrives but the server's ping (Hasura keep-alive) is missing, so live data may load slowly.

Shown only if enabled: add this code to public.app.showConnectionErrors in /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml (by default only 3002 and 3004 are shown).

Likely causes

  • GraphQL server (Hasura) slow or overloaded
  • Network delay

What to do

First, check who is affected.

  1. Only one or a few users: most likely a problem on the user's side, so follow the Student and Teacher steps.
  2. Everyone in one room: check that room/meeting (settings, meeting ended or recreated, room limits).
  3. Everyone in every room: most likely a server problem, so go to the Admin/server steps.

Students

Wait a few seconds: the client reconnects automatically. Only reload if the message stays. Check your internet connection (Wi‑Fi signal or cable) before rejoining.

Teachers

Pause for a moment: the client is reconnecting on its own.

Server admins

Check the GraphQL components (bbb-graphql-server/Hasura and bbb-graphql-middleware) and their override files in /etc/bigbluebutton/. Run sudo bbb-conf --clean, then sudo bbb-conf --watch while reproducing the error to see log errors live. Know that public.app.showConnectionErrors (override in /etc/bigbluebutton/bbb-html5.yml) decides which 300x codes users see; the default shows only 3002 and 3004.
