BlueJeans Review
Within the organization, BlueJeans Events were used primarily to support online lectures, meetings, and live streams to communicate information from events to a large group of individuals. They are an effective form of mass communication that are pre-planned and widely accessible.
- Manages large numbers well
- Prevents attendees from disrupting presenter
- Streams easily
- User interface is difficult to use on presenter side
- Attendees must be promoted to participate in discussion
- Q & A and chat features can be spammed, which makes it difficult for user and presenter interaction

Do I like BlueJeans? Of course I do!
We use it to welcome our new employees/nonemployees, for requirement purposes, events, etc. It also works perfectly with our Dolby Voice and we use it for conference purposes.
- Video experience is awesome
- Ongoing meeting, easy to use
- Love the sound
- Dolby Voice
- Less battery consuming
- Easier way to change background

I use BlueJeans in the telehealth platform, in counseling, and in mental health therapy. I am required to use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that will encrypt the two-way synchronous interaction for my practice. The platform must have the capability to do a screen share and quality audio conferencing.

- Audio
- Screen share
- remote control capability
- ability to use video filtering with less memory capacity PC's
- Waiting room capability sometimes doesn't work

- Easy download of the App.
- I cannot think of anything at this time.

Fantastic for large-scale, information-driven events with Q&A
We use BlueJeans Events for a multitude of webinars for students, staff, and faculty at the University of Pennsylvania. The interface is easy to use and has some great features, like the dedicated Q&A box that allows your audience to submit questions "on-air" to be answered live on camera, or by another participant via text. We hold a lot of informational webinars that require a lot of Q&A, so this is a great feature for us when we need to manage a large number of attendees and address their questions in an organized manner. The Moderator interface is great as well as it provides a sort of virtual "backstage" area where presenters and moderators can communicate in the background before and during the event as situations and questions arise.
- Organizing / Separating presenters and moderators from attendees via an interface, so that attendees do not see "backstage" issues
- Q&A feature is very organized and easy to use, especially for events with a high volume of audience questions
- Easy to share files and other media directly in the app
- A better way to alert moderators/presenters that someone backstage is trying to communicate with them.
- The chats do not scroll automatically as more people chat, so it can make it difficult to see if someone has sent a new communication to the chat
- Emojis!!

BlueJeans is great for large groups & easily recorded
We chose to use BlueJeans to host our webinars, internal meetings, and training sessions. We made this move from Google Meet so we could host larger meetings, chat functions, and the ability to record the meetings. We are able to post polls, Q&A, and multiple chats. You can set up attendees as regular attendees, presenters, and moderators.
- Ability to record meetings and easily download recording
- Host moderator chat
- Screen Share
- The ability to change attendees role without logging out
- More clarification on roles (moderator, presenter & attendee)
- Ability to see others video while presenting a screen share
- Visual appearance of login page and platform

BlueJeans for college classrooms
I use BlueJeans to stream online educational content. I stream online workshops and lectures, facilitate conversations for members via breakout sessions, and save recordings to be uploaded for asynchronous use. BlueJeans allows students to attend workshops and lectures virtually, which is important given the pandemic.
- Stream online content
- Save and download recorded meetings for future review
- Facilitate user engagement through chat and breakout sessions
- I often do not see new chat messages while I am sharing my screen
- Sometimes the recordings take a long time to upload
- Video quality is reduced and at times laggy

BlueJeans Events in Education
We used BlueJeans events to host lecture and review sessions. The business problem it addresses is how to keep 200+ students engaged on a daily basis in the era of online learning. We utilized events 3-4 times per week and had 200-250 attendees at a time.
- Scheduling
- Screen Sharing
- Moderator Tools
- Q&A
- Polls
- Latency
- Video Quality (sometimes)
- Audio Quality if multiple people are talking or unmuted

Easy-to-use, meets my business needs, helps me stay connected!
This is our company's selected video conferencing tool. It's used by most employees and is looked up on favorably in terms of ease of use and voice clarity. It enables us to stay connected during these times when we are not able to meet face-to-face.
- Easy to use.
- Easy to share mtg links.
- Sound quality.
- Feels like we are in the same room.
- Enhanced camera quality/settings (like Zoom).

Easy to use for first-timers
BlueJeans Events was used for our continuous 36-hour virtual event. We wanted to give our audience a different experience and the platform work for what we planned. There were a few hiccups along the way but we were able to rectify each situation immediately with the assistance of customer support and the audience did not have issues.
- Loading videos.
- Adding audience as presenters to ask questions directly.
- Sharing platform with team.
- Seamless joining from audience
- Need a backstage.
- Add timer for presenters.
- Ability for one member to load videos for entire team use.

Go Bluejeans Events, or Go Home!
I use BlueJeans Events to do students' webinars, workshops, and presentations with larger groups. With a lot of events and programs going online due to COVID, I found BlueJeans Events and the features very helpful and easy for my students to navigate. The product solves a lot of our virtual presentation problems and the scope of my work is mainly with students, faculty, and staff members.
- Provide plenty of options to share content to users
- The moderator options for BlueJeans Events is very nice
- The presenter/speaker views are nice too.
- One improvement is the interface. Interface sometimes is hard to navigate with a lot of people. Text and colors are also bland.
- Functionality could be better, especially with the chat and messaging features.
- More customization options should be offered.

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

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.

- 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.

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.

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.
