# Time for the deployment of the instance

Once we receive an instance request form for your preferred package (Starter or Medium+) we require two business days to deploy your instance and give you access to it.

During this time, we will work on allocating resources and configure your instance according to the specs mentioned on the instance page. This timeframe also allows us to thoroughly test your instance to ensure it is fully functional before handing it over to you.

We understand that time is of the essence in today's fast-paced environment. However, we prioritize the quality and reliability of our services to ensure that you receive the best possible experience.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding our cloud deployment process, please do not hesitate to contact our customer support team. We are always available to assist you and address any issues you may have.

# Things to keep in mind for the best experience

Below are some things that will make your experience of using BigBlueButton:

- Make sure to use headphones in order to avoid echo.
- When you are joining a call with low speed internet, we advise you to either use a camera with the 'low res' setting', or not using it at all.
- Please mute when you are not speaking.

# Known Limitation: Logout with Keycloak SSO

Greenlight v3 does not fully log you out of Keycloak when you log out of Greenlight.

When you sign out of Greenlight, your Keycloak session stays active in the background. If you log in again, you won't be asked for your credentials, you'll be signed in automatically.

The reverse is also true: signing out of Keycloak directly does not log you out of Greenlight.

This happens because Greenlight does not currently support full single logout (SLO) with Keycloak. This is a known, unresolved issue as of April 2025.
