BlueJeans

The Seriously Smoked team uses BlueJeans as our primary web conferencing software! I’ll discuss the reason for the score with the pros and cons below.

Pros

Meeting schedules automatically syncs with the chosen calendar app. The automatic sync to your calendar helps keep your schedule organized without any effort. 

BlueJeans allows the silent entry of late participants. For other web conferencing software, there are disturbing indicators like sounds or pop-ups that inform everybody that new participants joined. Users have the option to remove such notification, which helps ensure that meetings don’t get disturbed. 

BlueJeans has an automated recording function. Recorded meetings are critical and can be used in the future as an official reference or sent to absentees for feedback. 

A screen sharing function is available. Presenters have the option to share their screen with everybody, which helps participants visualize the agenda using text, figures, tables, and other figures. 

Cons

BlueJeans has no chat feature. The lack of chat features in BlueJeans is a big turn-off. However, it is not a significant deterrent that can stop users from using it.. Its remaining features are still more functional than other web conferencing software we tried.  

At Select Software Reviews , We've been using BlueJeans as our web conferencing software. The video quality is great. We found that as more and more meetings were happening digitally, the video quality was starting to dip with some solutions. But, BlueJeans has been top-notch. There's been very little slow down and we haven't noticed a drop in quality. It also offers really good recording and sharing capabilities. Being able to store the video in the cloud and share via a link has been really helpful for our team as we share information. What's really nice is that you can set up various levels of security, so that only people who have been granted access can see it. It can also be posted openly to allow outside contractors to see videos without having to get an account or login.  

The only con is that it is a little on the pricey side, but  for the quality they provide, it's worth it.

It got too difficult to change a single event in a series, and often resulted in missed communication for when meetings were happening. Ultimately, we had to change video conferencing platforms.

We have multiple offices in multiple cities and BlueJeans enabled our weekly meetings. Worked well for several years.

We get recurring positive feedback from all meeting participants that use Blue Jeans that it is much better than the platform their companies use. They are impressed with how easy it is to connect.
