Verizon and BlueJeans
- Audio is always excellent.
- Time lag does not happen.
- Verizon merged with BlueJeans [which] is a big marketing chance delivering confidence.
- Our customers like this application in U.S.
- Menu is not diversified comparing with Zoom.
- Scheduling is not convenient. Scheduling is not noticeable which is the most important function.
- Sometimes this does not work with Japanese colleagues and U.S. customers.
- [I wish] scheduled events popped up automatically on the PC screen.

Great video conferencing program, great security and privacy
- Screen recording
- Easily send a link to clients to join from their browsers.
- Good quality recording
- A little confusing to setup if you look at the advanced features.
- Joining from mobile phones isn't easy you need to download an app.
- Adjusting group meeting settings for different scenarios is a bit confusing.
February 12, 2021
Useful for small meetings without too many technical needs.
- Simple to login.
- Easy to set up meetings.
- Relatively simple to join meetings.
- There was no breakout room feature.
- Sometimes the quality could be poor.
- There was no option to poll participants.

An easy way to screen share with great audio and video quality
- Screen sharing speed.
- No lag.
- Audio quality.
- Screen adjusting.
- Not aware if multiple participants can share at the same time.
February 12, 2021
A reliable and stable virtual meeting platform.
- A secure platform that IT / IT Security professionals are confident in.
- An excellent breakout room facility.
- A stable platform.
- One improvement would be the ability to broadcast messages to people in the breakout rooms; a feature that some other platforms have.

A Great Product with a Couple of Gaps
- One of the things that attracted us initially was that it allows for connections to be made to the meetings from a variety of devices, including telephones. We have some people who are not very technologically savvy so the ability to use a computer or not was important.
- The facility to record meeting and then make those recordings available has significantly increased our ability to provide a library of content to our users.
- Users like the flexibility of being able to change their own screen display from speaker view to gallery view and so forth.
- We find that BlueJeans makes interaction between the different participants in the meeting very simple and easy.
- Since we have people participating from different countries, the availability access numbers in many countries is a definite plus.
- The availability to assign as many Meeting IDs as needed, including multiple meetings happening simultaneously is crucial for our purposes.
- The option of the break-out rooms has been very useful. At times we want to have a meeting with everyone, then break people out for discussions or group exercises and that works very well in BlueJeans.
- Currently, although the Meeting Moderator can mute the participants' microphones globally, the user has the option to turn their own mic back on. That makes sense for interactive meetings, but is terrible for when you're trying to make a presentation without interruption. It also makes it virtually impossible to record a presentation for later use without interruptions. There should be a setting which allows the moderator to turn off everyone else's microphones and over which they have no control until it's restored to them. Another option would be to have a separate product or setting designed for webinars or other types of meetings where you want to present material without interruption.
- BlueJeans is terrible at being able to play video for the meeting participants. Yes, you can upload video to BlueJeans, have them convert it and then be able to use it, but that requires that the person doing the presenting have access to the complete back-end of the account. It's time-consuming and a bad idea from a security standpoint. The new "play video with audio" feature helps, but it's glitchy. Sometimes it won't allow you to hide the controls of the presenter from view of the users. There needs to be a way to natively play video from within the app. (Your competitors have this.)
- There's a similar problem with playing live music over BlueJeans. I assume that because it was originally designed for business meetings, an environment where you want the audio to "hunt" for the strongest sound - presumably the voice of the person speaking that you want to be heard. However, in practice, if you try to have someone play a guitar and sing (for example), sometimes it suppresses the instrument and sometimes it suppresses the vocals as it tries to determine which of these two competing things to prioritize. The recent change to make it possible to turn off the background noise suppression on a meeting by meeting basis is a good step, but we still find it doesn't work very well.
- There's currently no good way to play an audio recording for participants. (This is similar to the video problem.) If you do it as a screen share of a media app playing the audio, the sound levels are very low and sometimes muddy. You can "fake the system into doing it" by converting the audio file to a video and uploading the video, but why should we have to go to all of that effort just to play an audio clip?

Classroom User Review
- Ease of use
- Recording feature
- Whiteboard access
- The knock-knock waiting room feature But, it is my understanding that it will be available this summer.
February 11, 2021
Give Zoom some competition with BlueJeans
- Easy to use
- The interface is clean, uncluttered
- High quality
- Some great personalization features
- Integration with iMac calendar; now it is only Outlook and Google
- First choice for participants is to join with a browser, not client, as it is today
- Quality of recorded content was not great
February 10, 2021
the platform that allways works!
- Easy to use
- Stable
- Improve the quality for low bandwith connection
- Sharing file could be a good improvement
- Audio quality
- Scheduler so my calendar is synced
- I built a self scheduling app on salesforce.com. I use it and allow customers to self schedule meetings through salesforce.com
- No name recognition
- Yet another UI that people are not familiar with. In this industry, if you are a follower, being different is not good
February 06, 2021
Technical support for users is second to none!
- Records all meetings and provides a link to share.
- The Technical Support staff is second to none! Always available to assist users with connection issues. They are able to see their system and help to correct and create a better experience.
- Wish there was an easier way to search through a history of recordings.
- Recent updates to the BlueJeans system have caused some Polycom issues.
February 04, 2021
Good tool for the price
- Cost effective tool
- Simple to utilize
- Easy to integrate to Outlook environment
- Have difficulty with the 'named user' licensing; each of our users are low volume.
- Have had issues with initial setup by user (obtaining license, password process).
- The ROOMS feature needs more explanation or case studies - could be useful but 'how'?

High quality, reliable meeting platform with great tools, and no snoops or party crashers.
- Security: BlueJeans provides a properly secured platform for private meetings and discussions.
- Audio: BlueJeans audio is transmitted crisply and with little to no latency.
- Collaboration: BlueJeans comes with a well-thought-out suite of tools for onscreen collaboration, mark up, chat, and more, which helps ensure productive work meetings.
- Recording: BlueJeans allows for high-quality recording of meetings, particularly useful for onboarding and training, and the recorded video is available almost immediately.
- Video: In general, video quality is acceptable, but could be improved. Understandably, this is a tough nut to crack, given the proliferation of different cameras and variances in bandwidth, but having seen far better and more reliable video quality elsewhere, I am certain BlueJeans can do better... particularly with the power of Verizon's 5G network behind it.
- Scheduling: A "nice to have" would be the ability to schedule meetings directly within the standalone application, rather than having to log in through the browser.

BlueJeans combines high-quality features with robust security.
- It's "robust" compared to Zoom, it feels more effective.
- The basic tools are perfect for almost every virtual interaction.
- Sound and image quality are really good.
- The recently added background function is a huge plus!
- Customer service is always available and extremely helpful.
- Recording feature is very helpful with our training products.
- All features are pretty easy to understand.
- I would prefer more color in the main panel. It helps with finding different features.

Good system for online learning
- BlueJeans is very good at allowing sharing.
- It's quite reliable as we have never had connection instability problems.
- The technical support is responsive.
- Lack of instructions in Italian, which is a widespread language available on other platforms
- A local recording option to prevent loss of recordings would be great.
- When you upgrade you cannot compensate with the amount you have already paid, but you have to pay the whole amount and keep the credit for the following year.

My BlueJeans Review
- User interface
- Video quality
- Moderator tools (easily mute)
- Startup is fast
- I don't like that I can't schedule from the desktop Mac app.
- Ever since the merge with Verizon, I've had freezing issues in almost every call. I corrected the severe freezing by turning off location services for my calendar app (it caused BlueJeans to overload my CPU).
- It's misleading when you say "Dolby audio" or video is being sent/received when it's a very low resolution or standard audio quality.
September 21, 2020
BlueJeans works for us!
- We use the white board feature at nearly every meeting.
- The audio and video quality are very good.
- It just works. It meets our needs to hold in-person meetings with clients from across the country and gives us the tools to enable creative discourse and production planning.
- The process of joining a meeting can be confusing to less than technically savvy users. We have one client who is older and consistently has difficulties synchronizing between the desktop client and the web-based interface. I'm still not exactly sure what he's doing. But, we'll be five minutes into a meeting and he will see a pop-up window appear asking if he wants to log into BlueJeans. I should have taken the time to contact support. But, I have yet to do so.
- One other issue is that there is no white board save feature. If we are done explaining a concept on the whiteboard and have gone back to the "general session" and then someone has a novel idea about the white board diagram, we go back to the whiteboard function and the previous work is gone. We now work around that by snapping screenshots periodically (when we remember to) but often, when ideas are flying and concepts are being flushed out, there is not a lot of time to remember to screenshot something. I'm not sure how this would work technically, or if it's even possible. But, it would be great to leave content on the whiteboard until the user decides to "erase" it.

The King of Cloud Video Conferencing
- Simplicity: It is easy to join meetings whether you have used it before or not.
- Sharing content: Allows you to easily share your screen, or parts of your screen to collaborate with others during a call.
- The ability to invite people from both within and outside of the organization, along with dialing in videoconferencing, room systems is a real bonus.
- Quizzes/Polls App: It would be great if they could introduce something like a quiz app within the interface for things like training classes, where instructors could prepare questions to launch for participants to answer. I think Zoom does this with their "polls," but haven't come across this functionality in BlueJeans yet.
- Not much else I can think of that I would like to see different at the moment.
September 12, 2020
Reliability, accessibility, ease of use, and value for money
- Host multiple participants with ease
- Is accessible for blind users using speech software
- Setting up meetings is particularly easy and efficient.
- Include an audible clue when participants want to contribute to a discussion - useful for a chair who is blind.
- Phone dial-in could be simplified.
- The name isn’t obvious or recognized - when suggesting to other companies that we use BlueJeans, they are all on Zoom or Teams (both are inferior).
September 12, 2020
BlueJeans is the only video conferencing option
- Easy room setup and joining
- Love the fact I can have the same meeting ID for my meetings
- Can join in seconds
- Wish I could set another reoccurring meeting with another meeting ID.
- For the large group meetings where it’s presentation mode for most, changing the waiting room music. I hate the current one every time I’m waiting for a meeting to start.

Effective Multi-location Meeting Software
- Very easy to use on all device types (laptops, phones, and tablets)
- The interface is simple.
- I can send invites and schedule meetings from my phone.
- Would love a feature to have full screen view on phone
- Sometimes it takes more bandwidth than Zoom.
- They can simplify the UI within the meeting when it is in progress.

- Easy to adapt
