I like that it is easy to designate moderators and presenters, who are the only people who will be seen in the event. You are able to send separate registration and invitation links to moderators, presenters, and attendees to keep things separate. By separating moderators and presenters (you choose which of these can be seen or unseen by attendees during the event) and attendees (unseen by one another during the event), you are able to minimize the risk of interruption or the imposition of inappropriate content. For added protection in this regard, you can also select whether the chat function is available to attendees. Additionally, you can make it possible for an attendee to raise his or her hand in order to request to be made into a presenter mid-event, allowing you to expand the conversation if necessary.
Before an event begins, all moderators and presenters are able to converse with one another in a sort of staging area, which makes it very easy to explain features and make sure everyone is on the same page immediately prior to the event. Once everything is set, you simply click a button to make the discussion go live. After the event is finished, the moderators and presenters are returned to the staging area (great for sharing impressions). If you choose to have the event recorded, the recording is accessible on your BlueJeans account page right away. And attendee info is emailed to you automatically soon after the event finishes.

I wish it were possible to send a clickable link to event attendees, even when the chat function is turned off. You can send messages through announcements, but links there are not clickable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a student, I enjoy BlueJeans Events because it is an effective tool for keeping virtual classes interactive by using features such as the Polls and Q&A widgets.
As someone who holds weekly industry presentations for my peers, BlueJeans Events gives me tools that make it easy for presenters to communicate uninterrupted, take questions, and gives us access to other useful tools and information such as attendee lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a student, I have been frustrated with watching recordings of BlueJeans Events. Trying to skip around or pause the video sometimes causes the audio and video to become out of sync, and the page has to be reloaded.
There are some minor inconveniences associated with the Presenting platform. For example, although my guests can share their screen, they have to send me mp4 files in advance of videos embedded in their presentations because the platform does not allow guests to share video.

The solution is very easy for my customers to access even if they have never used Bluejeans before. Bluejeans is super easy to log into and does not require the end user to download any additional software. It was such an easy solution to use for business that I figured I would try it on my family by hosting our Olson 2020 COVID Christmas via Bluejeans. I have relatives who are in their later stages of life that had no problem getting signed into the solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish Bluejeans was more well known. When I tell customers that I am sending them a Bluejeans invite, most of them have no idea what I am talking about. However, everyone knows what a webinar and Zoom meetings are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Easy to use.
- Integration Slack,Google Calendar, Lever Interviews
- Voice, screen sharing and chat within meeting is easy and clear
- Utilization and organizing of recording is best
- sharing a quick meeting link is best Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It feels bit resource intensive i.e. while utilizing Blue jeans laptop heats up more than while not using the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Video Conference. All the features are helpful. Very Easy to Use and clear video and voice talking. Make your meetings very productive. Void traffic just opens the blue jean make yourself available. Time-saving especially this time of era now you can not go to office. ThankGod blue jean is here and helps us on our progress and meetings. Just sitting at home and talk to anyone in the world in just one click. Very easy to operate especially for non-IT people. Never experiences any website issues.

Nothing. All the features are very helpful. Strongly recommend everyone. Make your meetings very productive. Void traffic just open the blue jean make yourself available. Never experiences any website issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The sound quality and stability even with events with lot's of people. Integration with other tools like slack and google calendar that make alerts very easy so it's very hard to miss a meeting. The events work really well. The quality of sound is very good. It supports lot's of people at the same time. It has been a great tool to keep communication flowing while pandemic happens. With this tool that we already used a lot we were able to move from the office to home with no disruption at all from one day to the other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
it could have a way to share questions and get people to speak when the moderator gives permission. I would like to see more than 9 people like Zoom allows to. I would like to be be able to split rooms in several so we can easily support workshops and still be able to keep chat between the different rooms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A highly stable and resilient cross-platform SAS video conferencing solution. Suitable for videoconferencing (Meetings) up to 150 people and webinars (Events) up to 20,000 people. Encoding is fluid whatever the h.323 platform, computers (Mac OS, Windows and Linux) or mobile devices (iOS, android). Integration on your own web page or live facebook is particularly easy. The administration of the backoffice is very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Unfortunately, the interfaces and support are almost exclusively in English and this solution does not (yet?) provide multi-channel audio management allowing use with simultaneous interpretation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since the pandemic, we've shifted our model to engage with stakeholders virtually and have been leveraging the primetime / BlueJeans events platform to host both small group private sessions and full public webinars. The interface is really easy to use and allows videos to be played easily within it. We've been really impressed with the quality of experience in terms of how our events team leverages this on the back-end and the ease of taking questions and providing an interactive experience for attendees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One element we have not yet investigated fully is how to leverage virtual backgrounds for the event itself - as obviously many presenters are joining sessions from home. Integrating more specific audio capabilities to filter out dogs, kids etc might be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Bluejeans events is the next level of virtual events, with all the features you could need and want. The gui is spot on and intuitive and the quality is next level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My only dislike is the dial in number produced as part of the invite defaults to US and there doesn't appear to be a way to change this on the events platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has great connectivity and ease of use with all the integrations and actually cares about security. We've used half a dozen platforms to communicate with our offices overseas where bandwidth is much lower and Bluejeans by far has the most reliable connectivity. From an administrative perspective its super easy to set up new users or automate the process, it also has great analytics to track usage by person/department etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The events had a bit of a learning curve to set up and host a large scale event with multiple presenters. Bluejeans is not as mainstream as some of the others (zoom, gotomeeting) so a lot of external participants complain about having to download "another meeting app" however, there are settings to help with this and default attendees to browser which I highly recommend. They also recently switched to a reseller type model which I don't care for and much prefer doing business directly with Bluejeans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Is easy for attendes to join event, they can join using their web browser or using their mobile through the BlueJeans Events app. I don´t have to worry about attendes using their microphone or turning on their cameras as presenter and moderators have their own joinning link. One feature I love the most is that I can have simultaneous events and I can broadcast the events to Facebook Live or a website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Our license is 200 seats and they charge $5 for each seat you go above the 200, there´s no limit for how many attendes can join during the event. You can enable registration to have a control of the number of attendes. You can share videos that have been previouly preloaded but you cannot share videos directly from your computer, I would like to have both options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

20 second broadcast lag between presenters and attendees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like how easy it is to set up a call & I feel very secure using BlueJeans for business meetings. Our CEO prefers BlueJeans to Teams & we always use it for our Town Hall meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I’m perfectly satisfied with BlueJeans; I can’t think of anything I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy setting a meeting. Making call, recording, screen control. I use these features regularly. Many people can join the event together without any lag. can able to join from multiple devices. The mobile app consumes very less data for audio calls. Also sharing recording across teams is very useful. Its wonderful and very helpful. I use this app over other apps like zoom or google meet. Best part the app doesn't crash or hangs , these is also important feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I hope the mobile event version considers low data for bluejeans event. The mobile app has some bug where we have to login to the account multiple times. I wish I can zoom into the video in the recordings, this will help in seeing some code or reviewing some document or excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Voice Quality is the best among Teams, Zoom, Google meet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. No possibility to co-work (on the same file, in same system etc.)
2. No possibility to run project or the team and control their free time. No possibility to invite employees easily, each time it needs to send invitation by e-mail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that employees can answer questions on a named or anonymous basis. Depending on the conversation topic, employees may feel more "safe" asking a question anonymously.
I also like the different roles that can be assigned (i.e. presenter, moderator, attendee). It's hard to manage all aspects of a meeting, so having different capabilities for each role has been great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like the polling aspect as much since you can only answer one question at a time. I wished there was a way to ask multiple questions at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The product was easy enough to use where most of my clients were able to sign in successful with hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There were some instances where my clients could not figure out how to join my meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
