BlueJeans has kept our classroom experience alive
[We] conducted [a] virtual learning environment using BlueJeans Events. [We] held lectures for 200+ students. Students could anonymously ask questions which increased participation.
- Q&A feature
- Ability to have multiple moderators/presenters
- Student chat
- Notifications for Q&A are difficult to navigate when there are a lot of incoming questions

BlueJeans not only for teens. Make your events make more sense.
It's used across the whole organization which is international. We use it to lead online events live, like allHands, webinars, or workshops usually for more than 100 people. Usually, we are using the Q/A section, screen sharing, multiple camera views, broadcasts, and recording events. BlueJeans events is great since the audio and video quality meets our expectations. It's important to us to separate speakers, attendees, and moderators because it's convenient for meeting organizers, so everybody has the rights that they should have and separate chats for moderators or attendees!
- Audio quality.
- Video quality.
- Roles: moderator, presenter, attendee.
- Live streaming performance.
- More detailed instructions, it's not very intuitive.
- Scheduling meeting.
- Nothing more, great job!

BlueJeans is AWESOME!!!!
We use BlueJeans throughout all of our North American and global offices. We use it primarily for quarterly town hall meetings. We also use it for meetings that require BlueJeans features such as presenters/moderators, allowing certain people with abilities to share content and be visible. In addition, with the pandemic affecting staff to be in the office, we are now using BlueJeans to conduct all virtual meetings, new staff orientations, meetings with vendors, etc.
- Presenting content w/ video sharing.
- Ease of connecting into meetings.
- Abilities for users to connect and use platform.
- Video clarity can be improved.
- The “Broadcast” meeting timer can be accurate as users speak after the countdown but it’s not the actual moment to speak.

Connecting with employees at large
We use BlueJeans Events for employee all-hands meetings and for company-wide events that reach multiple regions. The product helps us reach our international partners with ease, especially when it’s beyond the maximum occupancy a single user account allows. I like that it offers us the controlled Q&A portion and that there are no disruptions such while folks are joining versus on a regular BlueJeans account.
- Q&A management
- Sharing screens with ease by backend users
- Recording quality of meetings
- Assignment of roles to backend users (moderator, presenter, etc)
- BlueJeans Events doesn’t work well on mobile phones. Connection is difficult and [I]often find myself having to connect on a laptop.
- More functionality in the polls. For example, allowing “other” as a multiple choice option which enables users to enter in a response.

Making Events Easy
We are a union [and due to] Covid 19 we have been unable to have in-person union meeting[s]. We use BlueJeans Event to open communication[s] with our 5000+ members to share information and allow members to ask questions and interact with our office staff. BlueJeans Event has worked well for this type of use.
- Share screen
- Easy to be a presenter
- Pre event signup
- Branding Customization
- Pre event music should be able to load much longer larger sizes
- Moderator console having to open and close different sections
- Virtual background for presenters

BlueJeans - A useful tool for universities or businesses
We use it to deliver lectures from professors and faculty to students particularly for large lecture classes that have over 150 students as this is the most stable way to deliver online content live. It can also be used for large-scale webinars and conferences we have had in the past to help deliver content online.
- Easy to use
- Stable
- High quality
- Better features for audience interaction thats more intuitive or visible
- More intuitive guide for first time users who are not tech savvy
- breakout room feature

A Viable and Intuitive Alternative to Zoom
It is used by our entire organization to hold classes, webinars, and info sessions. It allows us to effectively meet virtually with a large crowd and minimize any disruptions. It further is easy to use, easy to access and allow anyone in our organization to access from wherever they are. With COVID, this has been especially important for us to maintain these strong connections, and this platform has enabled that for us.
- Ease of use.
- Ease of access.
- Professional design.
- Improved connection ability: Connections frequently go out or audio/visual cut off.
- More functionality to interact with audience.
- Ability to see screen when sharing.

Great platform for training and education

- High resolution video sharing.
- Polls to gain immediate real time feedback in webinars.
- Effective Q&A and chat moderation.
- Music playback can be glitchy.
- Visibility of co-presenters when sharing the screen.

Functionality + Flexibility = Optimum Virtual Event Platform
BlueJeans Events has been used by WGAW to host various virtual events, panels, and meetings. WGAW has used [BlueJeans Events] across multiple departments to host a variety of staff & member meetings, events, sessions, etc.
- Clean platform designs.
- Flexible functionality.
- Manage panelists vs. attendees.
- Avoid system going down.

BlueJeans Events provides a great experience
Used for webinar-type of programs to engage alumni and students. Allows communities to meet virtually in place of meeting in person.
- Broadcast and recording feature.
- Session registration and capturing who attends.
- Various speaker/presenter layout options.
- Moderator and presenter functions.
- Sometimes speaker video and audio appear out of sync.
- If I’m using from a small screen on browser, it’s hard to see and click on certain things.
- All functionality on computer has never worked for me.
- Chat box has frozen on me several times.
We typically use BlueJeans Events for lectures, presentations and town halls. It is being used across many departments in the school and university. BlueJeans Events allows for us to capture a large audience without having them all interact on screen. A regular meeting can come with distractions that can take away from a presentation, but this application allows for attendees to only see the person speaking. Attendees are not on camera and do not have access to a microphone. They can interact with other attendees via the chat, and if set up correctly, they can raise their hand and be brought on screen to ask a question or interact with the speaker. We have found this technology aids in the production of our virtual events.
- Automatically generated reminder emails to registered attendees before the event.
- Easy to host a panel and have them meet before the event goes live.
- Moderator chat allows for those running the program to chat without all of the attendees seeing. This allows for you to address technical issues, program flow, etc.
- Easier screensharing capabilities. Sometimes presenters would need to download an extension to screenshare. If your presenter is not aware of this when the event is live, it can be awkward and ruin the flow of the program or event.
- More customizable look and feel of the event.
- Better reporting without duplicate attendees.

ROYAL BlueJeans
It is used in [our] organization for all virtual meetings and conferences. We also sell to our B2B customers.
- Security.
- Control setting.
- Clear video and voice.
- On low speeds net from [the] service provider, video stability or voice any one needs to be switched off. Especially when using on Handset.
- Consumes lots of data and hence battery of Handset drains quickly.

BlueJeans Events review
All distance learning classrooms on campus have BlueJeans Events installed for all instructors to use to reach out to students on a group or one on one for participation with the group or for individual instructions.
- Intergrades with all rooms AV systems.
- Easy to use.
- Works with easy integration of our AV and classrooms.

Virtual Meeting Planners Should Try BlueJeans Events
We used BlueJeans Events for the first time in July 2021 for our virtual conference. It allowed our attendees to attend a virtual conference without zoom links and it wasn't clunky or unresponsive like other virtual platforms that had to be built for our usage. We had zero complaints about access which was huge for us.
- Visual appeal is great.
- Loved that we could add our conference logo and it looked like our platform.
- User friendly even for the technically challenged.

BlueJeans Events has been great for our organization
We use BlueJeans Events to conduct public meetings remotely during the pandemic. It solved the problem of not being able to meet in person for our public meetings. BlueJeans Events allows our organization to have quality interactions with our customers and the public during our meetings. It's easy to use and the customers/public seem to like it.
- Easy to set up events/meetings.
- Easy for attendees, participants, and moderators to log on.
- Able to easily customize the look and feel of the attendee experience.
- High quality video and audio.
- I wish event/meeting presenters could use a web browser.
- Moderator also be a presenter.

Great functionality but can be difficult to figure out
We are using it for school lectures in some classes. We are now in person, but some classes are offering a hybrid approach which allows teachers to have the option to use it or not. We also use it for club meetings/personal meetings between students when working on projects.
- It is very easy to join and quick to load up.
- It is very easy to communicate and hear different presenters. Lectures are seamless.
- It is easy to see who else is on the call and filter through the sidebar.
- There is no option to have a background filter.
- Creating meetings is kind of confusing. It took me a while to figure out how to create a meeting and share the link. Also distinguishing between meetings/events.
- I wish there was a way to mute the audio on BlueJeans Events without having to turn your own computer volume down. That way you could listen to music/another sound while in the event.
- I wish BlueJeans was more integrated as a communication platform like Teams.

There is R(Z)OOM to improve
It is used across the whole organization. We use BlueJeans for group meetings and company-wide live events.
- Easy to check headset.
- Interface is easy to understand.
- Link with Outlook to send each invite.
- No "draw on screen" function for everyone. It is only available for the person who is sharing the screen.
- Not reliable. Microphone and speaker tend to not work with wireless headset.
- Background blurring function can use some improvement.

BlueJeans Events used for Law firm CLE
BlueJeans Events is being used by our attorneys for our law firm CLE presentations. This addresses the need for travel, and we can record them in HD quality video using BlueJeans cloud recorder. The videos are stored on BlueJeans cloud storage, which reduces the burden of our IT department making sure we have enough disk storage space to store the CLE videos for future viewing.
- Polling.
- Recording.
- Superior audio quality.

BlueJeans Events is great for a large audience
Being used across the organization for town hall events both within the organization and for patient communications.
- Connection is great, minimal technical issues during presentations.
- Moderation of events is easy to learn and execute.
- Ability to control attendee actions, can remove people from event if needed.
- Q&A feature functions well and is useful for communication.
- Recording function is easy to use.
- Wish there were more options for the format that presenters can be viewed in.
- Clearer options for how to share screen when presenting, maybe word labels instead of pictures/icons to click on.
- Attendees have had trouble accessing BlueJeans on certain web browsers, capabilities to function better on all web browsers would be helpful.
It is my understanding the company currently uses BlueJeans Meetings but it is being phased out for the most part and replaced by Microsoft Teams. I use BlueJeans Events to do Virtual Instructor Lead Training (VILT). So, in general, most people will use Microsoft Teams going forward. I will continue to use BlueJeans Events.
- Easy to use
- Good control console
- Good online support (docs and videos)
- Only one person can drive the slides which makes it hard when someone is presenting and has to continue to say "next slide"
- It seems that if the Moderator changes something in the platform set-up another email goes out to participants
- Would like to be able to write on a white board from any PC

The Best Video Conference Platform
We were using BlueJeans meetings spontaneously, but since March, we have increased our usage by 1000%.
A couple of weeks ago, we purchased the BlueJeans Event App and we are planning to have our first online town hall for 1000 users. We are so happy with BlueJean's functionality, and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of having a professional VC platform. I would like to say thank you to the BlueJeans Support Team; they are great!
Within August we had:
- 11213 meetings
- 488 users with accounts
- 52338 participants involved
- 129 recordings

BlueJeans review 10.01.20
- Multiple departments across the organization are using BlueJeans at high capacity; daily, long meetings.
- The main issues we may face sometimes would be the voice cutting, especially if too many users on BJ events and sometimes high delay in presentation shared when across different regions.
- Easy to use from Phone App
- Easy to set meetings
- When using the phone app, we cannot access contacts in MS Outlook, only the ones stored on the phone.
- Higher bandwidth in BlueJeans events.

Great platform for official meetings arrangement
BlueJeans is used among my whole organization as a basic tool for teleconferencing. Both for project meetings and town halls. As a teleconferencing solution, it allows us to chat through cameras in meeting rooms, but also through laptops and mobile devices. It is widely used across all teams within the company as it significantly helps us cooperate between people working in different countries/continents.
- Good screen sharing functionality.
- Automatic adjustment of picture/sound quality in case of network connection problems.
- Nothing particular. It's ok as is.

Bluejeans is a great tool to use across your entire organizaition.
BlueJeans is being used by our entire employee population of ~2,500. Everyone uses it for all personal and team meetings, and we use "Events" for our training webinars. It solves the problems we had with our previous provider. It is the ease of use, Events, Meetings, and Large Meetings to solve many issues we previously ran into!
- BlueJeans Events interface is perfect for Webinars. The Moderator/Presenter has the perfect amount of control, and it looks excellent for participants.
- Ease of Use for end-users is fantastic.
- The BlueJeans Nuuc computer has issues from time to time with needing to be manually restarted or the computer needing updates.
- BlueJeans support is sometimes unable to diagnose an issue as deeply as we need.
