Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans Events
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.
- Increase in virtual event participation.
- Larger geographical reach than in person events.
- More options for presenters that do not want to travel to speak.
- Zoom
Zoom is not good for presentations where a lot of people are attending. You end up having people unmute themselves and make noise while the speaker is talking. It can be very distracting. BlueJeans Events ensures that all attendees who are not required to speak are off camera and do not have the ability to speak. This allows for a smoother presentation with little to no interruptions.
