BlueJeans Virtual Events Reviews: 4.4/5 — Solid Choice
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

QA and voting on questions has been really helpful. Polls are good but should be easier to discover on desktop
How hard it is to chime in with audio. Lots of issues where i click on the link and have to log in all over to view the event. Don’t have to do so for regular meetings
Company town halls, company wide team events
Call and Video quality ... Ability to host events with larger groups
I wish it has a good break out options to run a big group meeting with options to split people for smaller working session
team meeting, incident handling, company events
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.
The features are very useful and provide a lot of ways to interact with participants. The interface is intuitive and it is easy to learn the system.
The system can sometimes have issues and it is difficult to troubleshoot. There isn't much support on the website to help when issues arise.
Scaling trainings and being able to reach a large audience quickly and easily. Our participants don't have to travel to a training site to still get necessary information and have their questions addressed.
The customer support was top notch. We got quick responses from Alphi when service was interrupted, and the demographics report afterward was helpful.
The price was pretty high. While the service was good, it made more business sense to broadcast on a free platform like Facebook Live.
We were able to livestream events and get stats on participation. The events were recorded and easily accessible
The look and feel of BlueJeans Events is amazing. It's intuitive, and that's something our customers definitely need. It's quick to launch and not cumbersome. I love that the audio and video are combined. Previously, we had a separate phone number for our WebEx audio. It's very nice that people can now use their computer audio to listen to the presentation. I also like that the audio can be muted for all attendees, but wish we could unmute them as well (see below).
We have several moderators on our team and it's frustrating that, if one person creates an event, no one else can access the reports, recordings, or see a list of future courses. It would also be helpful if we could unmute attendees if they have questions. Yes, they can type questions into the Q&A section, but it's easier to unmute everyone and let them clarify what they're asking verbally.
We have several Instructor-Led Trainings every week to help our customers use our software. Our customers sometimes have limited technical knowledge, and BlueJeans' great UI has helped mitigate a lot of issues we used to see with WebEx, such as people not being able to log in, or having issues with the audio.
The simplicity of the interface makes it quite easy to manage and train end-users in its various features.
We run in to issues every so often with the MS Outlook plug in disabling itself and users complain about the buttons disappearing from Outlook.
We have multiple company events each year that require all office locations to connect to a Blue Jeans event. The software has met our needs for these types of events.
Its extremely simple to work with and has is quick to load.
The UI seems outdated and can be improved!
I use it to attend online video conferencing events. This helps in joining events that I can not physically attend especially in the post-COVID environment.
I use blue events for our meeting purpose to connect with my teammates for the project discussion, and sounds excellent and effective. Visuals are proper to communicate with other mates. I like music after all meetings.
Clickable option I wouldn't say I like when it needs to send to the colleagues when meeting or chatting is not on going. Links would be great to share with all teammates.
We are using it for our office discussion as well as with our technical client discussion.We use it daily purpose where fresher level to experience level engineer can use it witohut any technical knowledge
Easy integration with calendar. Simplified link sharing. Good interface
Connectivity issues, sync issues, lags during meetings
Multitasking is simpler. Holding events is effortless. Best of all, internal meetings are very easy to organize
I love that BlueJeans makes it easy to copy your link and share it with others. App upgrades happen seamlessly and without trouble for sharing permissions when you relaunch
I hate that when I share my screen I cannot see any of the participants.
Using BlueJeans PrimeTime for large company events
The ease of access is my favorite feature, we use this to hold major events within the company.
It can be a bit difficult to use to start off with but once you get the hang of it, it isn't too bad.
It helps maintain order within meetings, the structure is very important.
BlueJeans Events makes it easy to get events going quickly and easily. The software is pretty simple to use and understand. The presentation is made clear and the audience gets a chance to control it a bit too for added flexibility.
For me, BlueJeans Events lacks some of the basic livestream capabilities. I prefer a tool like StreamYard because I can add titles, intros, videos, and so much more with ease.
It has helped us to stream more events and be able to share ideas with a much broader audience. I think our customers have enjoyed being able to see what's going on without being there.
Initially, we really liked that Q&A were well-integrated and aligned with our content.
The Blue Jeans platform has been very unstable for us. We decided in early 2018 to stop using the platform to stream content that is uploaded to the Blue Jeans server because the application dashboard that plays the videos glitched.
We were hosting large-scale, university-wide events on the platform.
