Hopefully not a lot of you had their business use BlueJeans as their core videoconferencing software. Because if you do, you’ll want to plan a migration soon.

    At my previous job where I managed our Verizon account our rep was RELENTLESS at pushing this garbage. Every meeting we had with him was a fucking bluejeans link. And every time, without fail, one or more of us had audio or video issues. I don’t know how it ever made it out of QA/testing. It was such a garbage platform, good riddance.

    Unfortunately I have heard of it since I’m forced to do business with Verizon and one of my other vendors bought it during covid for some reason. Glad to see it gone

    Ha! Was wondering why my company abruptly got rid of it, only really used it for larger scale townhalls, rest in Teams

    I’ve had to use this service to talk to Verizon sales people that just refused to take no for an answer. It’s no worse than teams or zoom or meet/duo/whatever Google is calling it now. But it’s also completely unnecessary that it exists and BlueJeans is just such a stupid name.

    I have a meeting with a Verizon rep next week and I wondered what the hell this “blue jeans” link was that he sent me. Now I know!

    Oh boy.

    I remember back when they first got started and jumped on a call to sell me the solution. I was staring at two people in California in a high production set they used. We super expensive and felt so awkward even taking their calls.

    Didn’t realize Verizon owned that brand.
