Cloud-based video conferencing
4.3/5 (228 reviews)Blue Jeans offers a video conferencing solution for business meetings with support for content sharing, meeting recording, text chat, and multiple participants. You can connect to a Blue Jeans meeting from any device, both iOS and Android, as well as from multiple platforms, such as Google Hangouts, Cisco Jabber, Avaya Scopia, Microsoft Lync and more.
Blue Jeans supports meetings for up to 25 video or audio participants in standard meeting mode, and up to 100 with the Large Meetings add-on. Participants can share content in high definition and share videos with all participants simultaneously. You can record meetings, store them, share them and watch them back.

The command center gives access to real-time meeting metrics in addition to historical trend analysis reports. You can also use this feature to define access permissions and add or remove users.
Pros
Easy to use, always reliable, clear sound and pictures! I love that this integrates with Google Calendar and we can add a Blue Jeans link to a meeting invite when creating it. The technology of this software is super impressive. We hold meetings all the time with several offices and people around the world at the exact same time and there is little to no delay in their responses. It is also very convenient to be able to copy and paste the link to another employee to click on and join within a matter of seconds without any hassle of them having to log into an account, etc.
Cons
There is not anything that I don't like about this software. I only have a suggestion. It would be great if a large message could pop up on the screen or a voice could remind those that are remoting in to mute their phones or mics when they first enter the meeting. There have been several occasions where the meeting is already in full swing and someone joins later and we can hear them driving, eating, texting, etc and have to request they mute themselves. Their microphones need to be muted the moment they join the meeting so there isn't any interruption.
Great product, but remember you’re not allowed to upload and show your own DVDs and videos – you have to rely on YouTube for that. Don’t forget to use the Outlook plug-in and calendar integration. For this, you may need to consult your IT team.
Pros
I like that BlueJeans has a Wi-Fi screen bar for me to check on the reliability of my Internet connection at any moment. Plus the feature where you can share the screen and choose which window/screen area exactly you want to show others. This has a nice side-effect for tutoring or training people – you can show others a document or presentation while privately going through other staff on your device. A perfect product for real-time video- and audio-conferences. Great for face-to-face remote communication, tutoring, training or teaching. I’d say it’s a quite solid tool for webinars as well. Love the AV quality – even when the connection is not so stable.
Cons
Just one very minor nitpick: I would prefer a pop-up message or something like that for people who want to connect that says they should mute their microphones and cell phones. From my own experience, it’s really annoying when people join a conference and everybody else has to listen to sounds around them (or in their phones). So I think it would be better to just mute them automatically, so others don’t have to remind them.
Bluejeans let me collaborate with my colleagues,even when I am not physically close to them.We use Bluejeans to organize team meetings and brain storming sessions with my project group.
Pros
Bluejeans is user friendly and very reliable for group calls.It has an Android app. Which makes it a reliable communication tool for me,whenever am on the move.The quality of video,audio and screen share images on Bluejeans under good internet connection is top quality and amongst the best in the video conferencing software industry.
Cons
Whenever my internet connection has been average , the quality of the calls on Bluejeans is always below par.Warbled audio and pixelated screen casts is a norm on such occasions.Bluejeans also drains my battery way too fast,so much that I would never use my device for Bluejeans conference calls,without being connected to a power source.
Overall, BlueJeans Video Communications made it easy for us to host and join a large-scale internal office meeting or client presentations. We haven't had any major issues in terms of connecting to the conference call.
Pros
BlueJeans Video Communications is the best so far in terms of hosting a large-scale video conferencing because it doesn't matter if the attendees to such video conference is as few as 3 or as many as 50+ since the overall quality is just the same. We shifted from FreeConferencePro and UberConference to BlueJeans Video Communications, because we had multiple mishaps before, and worst it happened during a client call. With BlueJeans Video Communications, we didn't experience any connectivity and disconnection issues. It is easy to use as well because you can connect to the conference via mobile or home phone, via the web link even without downloading the desktop version or the desktop version if you are the host of the conference.
Cons
What I least like about the software is that if you are the host, you are obliged to download the desktop version of BlueJeans Video Communications so that you can be assured that the full functionality will be working smoothly. I hope they make it possible as well that the web version will have no issues in screen sharing or file sharing.
BlueJeans is a quick and easy way to communicate with remote teams. So much communication can be missed on a phone call and definitely through emails. Video conferencing helps you capture the nuance of the conversation that you may miss otherwise and connect you to the people you are working with.
Pros
BlueJeans is fairly easy to get up and running. My favorite feature is that you do not need a moderate to join before the meeting starts as long as two or more participants join. You can join either by browser or app, on your laptop, a room system such as Polycom, or by smartphone.
Cons
Like all video conferencing, the technology is getting better, but there can be lots of awkward bumps in the conversation due to people talking over one another, echoes, choppy audio and frozen video. This may not be the fault of BlueJeans per se, but it important to use the tool with best practices in mind.

It is easy to host and join meetings with employees in other offices or that work remotely. It's also easy for me to join meetings when I am working remotely. This is super beneficial that just because I am out of the office I don't have to miss an important meeting.
