Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a education institution where we needed to implement a tool to manage and broadcast webinars. We went on trial with some other options before we decided to use BlueJeans Events, we found the tool useful and very user friendly. This is a webinar tool so you have to option to manage large amount the users, launch polls, surveys and broadcast embedded videos within the webinar. This last option increase the quality of the video´s been broadcasting. Also has security features where you assign roles to specific users (presenters and moderators) you give permissions to use mic and share screen just people who need it.

Pros

Manage large amount of users
Playback embedded videos with high quality
Not need to download an app you can join and mange the webinar in a web browser.

Cons

Price
Support
Option to broadcast to other social platforms

Return on Investment

It was expensive at first, but then BlueJeans sales were able to offer a better deal.
Easy to use and implement, doesn´t requiered too much effort form support staff.
Easy to broadcast to other platforms using RTMP.

Sr. Event Manager at MUFG Union Bank NA (10,001+ employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BlueJeans Events as a virtual solution to meetings/town halls/all colleague/all hands call etc. We implemented the tool during the pandemic where no one could meet in person, it solved that problem for us. It is now used by the events team to support virtual events across the bank.

Pros

Moderator controls
Q&A feature
Presenter views

Cons

Would like the moderator to be able to re-order the presenters on the line by speaking order
Would like to be able to adjust controls after event is live, like add or remove Q&A

Return on Investment

Consistent platform for virtual presentations
Data retrieval

I use BlueJeans in the telehealth platform, in counseling, and in mental health therapy. I am required to use a HIPAA-compliant video platform that will encrypt the two-way synchronous interaction for my practice. The platform must have the capability to do a screen share and quality audio conferencing.

Pros

Video
Audio
Screen share
remote control capability

Cons

ability to use video filtering with less memory capacity PC's
Waiting room capability sometimes doesn't work

Return on Investment

Event cost savings esp during the pandemic
