Overall Satisfaction with BlueJeans Events
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!!
- We were able to scale a former in-person welcome event (that typically would only serve 200-300 students in person in two specific countries) to a virtual event that allowed anyone anywhere in the world to attend, which put our numbers up to around 2000 attendees from 30+ countries.
- Ability to execute our training with more business administrators who need it, as virtual events were a better fit for their schedules overall, and because they are spread out all over campus it is more convenient for them to be able to stay in their office for the meeting instead of running across campus and back.
We do use Zoom Events in some instances, such as smaller to medium scale events where on-camera student-to-presenter interaction is the bulk of the event, such as focus groups and communications training. The Zoom Events/meetings interface is just a bit cleaner and easier to navigate in that situation where you may have several people unmuting and unmixing to speak at the same time as part of a group discussion.
