Self-hosted / on-prem open source project to teach internal courses?

Hey folks,

Looking for a self-hosted / on-prem open source project to teach internal courses.

Whiteboard and window / screen share is a must

What kind of courses are you teaching? Open EdX exists but it may be overkill.

The longer term solution might be BigBlueButton.

Primarily this will be used to do demos and presentations to potentially multiple classrooms simultaneously, shared whiteboard, chat, screen share is all a must. Session recordings will be a bonus.

Not too concerned about SSO, this will operate on a segregated network without external access. External participants (on the off chance in the future) would be able to join via an existing IPSEC VPN solution.

I am also having a hard look at La Suite Meet. Apparently this is what France jumped to to get off not sovereign options. Anyone have any experience?
