BlueJeans is a cloud-based video conferencing platform that was built to facilitate communication and empower users to collaborate seamlessly on a digital workspace. The app was recently acquired by Verizon, which led to the software offering more advanced features and tools including webinar and virtual event applications in addition to its virtual meeting app. It’s also a pioneering platform that connects desktops, mobile devices, and room systems into one video meeting

An easy platform to navigate if you have used bluejeans before looks like a very professional event Would be fantastic if it was integrated with the main BlueJeans meeting platform., that would add a lot of value to people's use and get them to utilise the correct product as opposed to just having large meetings on BlueJeans meetings
would be great to have the captions option to increase accessibility for people with hearing impairments Not always evident if the participants cal already see you or not Didn't know bluejeans primetime changed the name to bluejeans events, this wasn't well publicised Maybe should assist hosts in setting up their environment to look more professional Not everyone in my organisation has access to Bluejeans events and the capacity of bluejeans meetings is not large I don't think enough people are aware of the existence of this product, hence why a lot of large meetings turn into everyone listening to someone typing. more marketing is required and a better integration with the main bluejeans to draw people to use "events". The black and red background (on the screenshot) that is being used by GSMA should have been advises against by the Bluejeans set-up team as "un-inviting"
host larger organisation-wide meetings host group meditations in the organisation host lunch and learn drop-ins host webinars with external partners organise small events organise publication launches
The best of bluejeans is the sound quality and the easy way to use, we also love the comand center is a powerfull tool
I dint like. when use the APP on my macbook pro retina 13, use all my CPU and get to slow and hot.
We use bluejeans for all of our meeting around the country and for make training.
In general the comms quality is good and it interoperates very well with Lifesize and Huawei in room equipment -so great picture and sound
There are two apps on Mac and the Bluejeans Prime Events insists on using the old one. Also, the Prime Events option doesn't hide the name of the attendee asking questions to panelist, quite annoying. Finally, there's no usage stats for views/downloads.
I'm running influencer webinars with video, allowing us to give a more personal feel to webinars.
Easy to join & easy to setup the meeting. Pretty stable with the nice options to control meetings.
Sound output settings. There are not always convenient to mange you bluetooth headphones. Most of the times you have to manually choose them in the settings.
Day to day meetings with collegues, presentations on the group meetings etc.
the ui is really nice and easy to use haven't occurred any issue
nothing irritates or is not ok with the application
big meetings in different offices
Ease of use is what I like the best. You can easily set up or join a meeting with a click of a button. I would like it even more if I there was a way to integrate it with web browsers. For example, if I could use it in one of my chrome tab it would have been much more beneficial.
There is no much I dislike, but I wish the mobile app was much easier to work with. Particularly the way you could ask host questions.In the mobile app, usually I would like to participate in the calls that I cannot really join using a computer or laptop, for example when driving and I would need to join a croup call or let's say I am outside and would like to benefit from joining a meeting without having to use my laptop.
We have group meetings regularly. We use it for group conference calls. I like the fact that you can record videos of the calls. That helps a lot for sharing and reviewing the content of the calls. Using other tools, we would have to a =use a thridparty screen capturing software.
BlueJeans is very easy to use and great for large office spaces. It is easy to log in and on calls with either the BlueJeans link or with the remote control.
There is really nothing that I dislike about BlueJeans. Sometimes the link does not always connect with our AV system but it is easy enough to login or call in.
We use this to video conference with our different offices and clients. It is a great way to collaborate with our different offices. The video is always clear and the sound is great. I think that it makes it feel like you are right there with your coworkers and clients to make necessary decisions for the business. I also think that it is great that you can present a slide deck or share your screen when applicable so that everyone is looped into the mix.
BlueJeans Events bring the company together in fun and innovative ways.
There can occasionally be some lagginess in the connection, but as technology improves, this will hopefully decrease over time.
The company I work for has branches in multiple parts of the world. BlueJeans Events work great when we want to get information out in a fun and interactive way.
Quaity video and features availability for team colloboration.
Bandwidth consumtion is more as compared to others,frequent updates that disrupts workflows.
colloboration , my team span across India and Ijrail so good to connect via this tool.
Greate quality video and other functionalities to share the thoughts async like chat, hand raise etc.
Onboarding is not simple enough as compared to other competitors like teams. Chat is also not that real time.
Connecting with my peers across different geos.
BlueJeans Events has a great interface for moderators. It is straightforward when you know where to look. I also like that BlueJeans is always available, and will get you the answer you need most of the time. I like the ease of accessing scheduled events through the online website. It is very easy to use to look at upcoming events, manage registrations, and schedule new events. I'd say that this platform is pretty well developed, too. Though it does take time to get to know all the features of the Events Platform and it can be very overwhelming for new users, the platform would not be what it is without these awesome tools. I appreciate that BlueJeans is constantly updating their platform to make it better using the feedback of users. It is easy to report problems and get help, which is a major plus. When we report problems, we know that BlueJeans is taking them into consideration and monitoring similar issues.
BlueJeans Events is just different. Users are used to other platforms, which creates a learning curve for BlueJeans. Some features are not as intuitive as they should be - chat panel, video layout, connecting to audio via phone. It is hard for users to understand the difference between BlueJeans and other platforms they have used. One feature that has been asked about is showing more than 9 videos on the screen at once and being able to scroll through all videos. Additionally, BlueJeans Events does not integrate well with Outlook. Another pitfall of BlueJeans is the nearly-indistinguishable line between Meetings and Events. It is hard to know when to use which platform. It seems nonsensical to have two different platforms for very very similar needs. The few different features between Meetings and Events seem that they would be helpful on the other platform, too. This causes our users to question why there are two platforms and when to use which platform.
Currently, we are working to make BlueJeans Events a standard for our company. We have hit a few roadblocks, with users dialing in by phone and internet connectivity issues. We like the ease of scheduling on the BlueJeans web browser, but it does present a struggle when integrating with Outlook. Overall, there have been a lot of small technical glitches that make it hard to rely on BlueJeans for all of our needs. Though BlueJeans support has been there along the way, the amount of problems that have stemmed makes it hard for our users to completely trust the platform. We are hoping that this platform will help us to achieve an end-all platform for meetings and events that, when our users get to completely understand, will be seamless and very helpful going forward. In our use, it seems to be moving this way, but quite slowly.
I like BlueJeans meetings best, and BlueJeans events a little less.
The slide delay for attendees is about 10 seconds, which is extremely long. Can't share an application, only a screen. Chat is difficult to manage, with a separate conversations in a separate tab. Can have multiple presenters for a single slide deck.
Webinars for researchers every couple of months.
Provides basic functionality to connect the team, video, chat etc.
Lacking with Advanced features available in other tools, if have less features than it must be atleast light weight.
Connecting with Customer to have a customer connect.
The feature of BlueJeans that I like the most is its ease of use, both for the host and for the participants. It is easy to schedule meetings and it is easy for new participants to connect to meetings. Logging in is fast, and connecting to meetings is fast. Also, it is easy to share join details.
The significant weaknesses of BlueJeans are the inability to change time of one meeting in a series of meetings, in ability to see your scheduled meetings beyond three months, inability to use virtual backgrounds, inability to display an image when your video is turned off, and the limit of seeing a maximum of only 9 participants in gallery view. These weaknesses have prompted us to use other virtual meeting platforms.
All of my work-related meetings are virtual, and about 50% of these meetings are via BlueJeans, but these virtual meetings are not BlueJeans Events.
