It was acquired in 2020 by Verizon and discontinued in the sunsetting of the BlueJeans product line by Verizon, in 2023.

Chose BlueJeans Meetings (discontinued)
BlueJeans was the preferred option over Skype for the reasons mentioned throughout the review, far more intuitive, easy guest access, improved video and audio quality, substantially better on tools (breakout rooms, whiteboard etc).
The landscape has changed considerably in the years since we started with BlueJeans but we originally selected it because it would allow for much larger meetings than Skype, had much better audio and video quality than another vendor we used (whose name escapes me at the …
BlueJeans Meetings is the most deluxe, feature-heavy webinar and virtual meetings software program I have used. We began using it to connect for All-Hands Meetings for our country-wide company offices without needing to travel to be together, and we transitioned to using it …
Zoom is too expansive for individuals. Skype is too old-school and does provide the most advanced features as other products do. Teams are not good at noise and echo suppression. Not many people are using Google hangouts. During the pandemic, I only use it once at a conference. …
BlueJeans stacks up comparably to other services. It does lack in some areas compared to others, particularly Zoom, which is more widely used, but BlueJeans had been used for quite some time by the University and offered the feature set and accessibility that we were looking …
We needed a tool that allowed our external users to effortlessly join and collaborate with our internal team. This is where this tool really shines compared to some of the others. BlueJeans fit the need and when it was time for collaboration we were thrilled to hear BlueJeans …
It has a better feature set but isn't as well integrated with respect to notifications as Teams is. Performance seems to be better than on other platforms. Cross-platform use is exceptional. The interface is clunky compared to other tools such as Teams, but there are distinct …
I began really investigating the various platforms for video conferencing early in 2020 and found many had similar features. But, BlueJeans seemed to have some of the more specific features that we were looking for. Again, to my business, the ability to collaborate via a …
BlueJeans is amazing because it's simple, it's reliable, it does the job it is intended for without extra bells and whistles.
Staff has the confidence that they don't have to fiddle with overly complicated software to to make a presentation or share their point of view during a …
BlueJeans is reasonably close to Zoom. I do not have a paid account with Zoom, so I prefer BlueJeans when setting up a scheduled meeting. The app is very intuitive and feels relatively non-invasive. I like the phone-in service provided. We have used this quite a lot for …
I know BlueJeans through a customer (Inchcape) and I prefer the design, stability and security. For events I use WebinarJam, I've never used BlueJeans Events in order to compare.
BlueJeans is head and shoulders above all other VC products we evaluated including MS Teams.
Functionality does exist in the other platforms which we would like to see on BlueJeans but not at the expense of the quality service we currently receive.
Zoom and Webex work pretty well, and I would say those are my top three choices. BlueJeans seemed to be the best fit for us with the price point package they offered. The only downside is that I feel like the other two are more widely used at this time and therefore easier to …
As a business messaging solution, Skype for Business has been replaced by Microsoft Teams which has been a significant upgrade. But the normal Skype hasn't really changed or developed much over the years leading to a steady decline in its customer base as well. A few years back …
"Describe how Skype stacks up against them and why you selected Skype." Not at all. I am writing this review as a "no more customer," as Skype doesn't work anymore. The only help they offer is to tell you, it's your own connection. Well, if my connection isn't suitable for …

Chose Skype
The company I work at uses both Slack and Skype and I have to say that Skype doesn't stack up against the competition. The only thing that Skype offers that Slack doesn't is the ability to make calls. Calls are pretty good quality, both audio and video. However, aside from …
Skype is installed by default in most Windows computers. And since many people have already used it, we don't have to explain what it is and how to use it. Also, it is free of charge, so it is not a burden for the people we want to talk with.
I used BlueJeans for the first time recently, and it worked relatively well, although there was some delay in audio/video transmittal. The video also cut out here and there or froze. Altogether, it was about the same average quality as most video conferencing tools that I have …
