If not Zoom, then Bluejeans?


 

开云体育

Hi all:

?

Because of zoombombing,? a bunch of institutional clients are banning the use of Zoom (like the National Park Service/Department of Interior!).? I’m looking for an alternative.

?

Bluejeans seems to be quite similar.?

?

Does anybody have experience with this alternative?

?

Thanks much . . . be well.

Hi Catherine,

If you click on "General" - and then scroll down to "more settings" - you are taken to your profile/account-settings (new tab opens) where you indeed can activate the "Share Zoom windows".?
Seems a bit hidden, and there might be other ways to get to that page...


 

Hi Bill,

Nice to see you here! Yes I use BlueJeans with some clients.

I prefer Zoom for group facilitation, but BlueJeans is fine for normal virtual meetings.

All the best,
Viv

There are plenty of Web based video solutions. Each of them do somethings well and other things poorly.?

The strange thing is that zoom can be configured so that you can't be zoom-boomed. So banning it seems like a strange response to poorly configured meetings. Perhaps training meeting facilitators how to configure a zoom meeting.?

There are tools like Slack, Google Hangouts Meet, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Appear.in, etc..?

A little googling gets lots of articles about this:


However, I have been hunting for things that create much greater control over the breakout rooms. The ability to manage much more tightly and much more flexibly who goes to which room, when they get in, how they get pulled back etc.?

One solution that I have found is VideoFacilitator.com which gives you "The law of 2 feet" and let's people move from room to room.? However, it does not have any protection from "zoombombing" at all.??

Do you have a list of features that you must have in your video tool? That would help narrow down the list.?

For me, I am hunting for breakout room control that is safe from zoombombing and which gives sufficient control over mix and matching of who goes to which room and when they do it.?

Hi all
Adobe Connect is a good, stable platform with breakout room capabilities.

I used it a lot before zoom came along.

驰’补濒濒,

Sorry to miss the party. Our grandson came down with one of his awful migraines and we got caught up in what to do now. We sometimes have to take him to the the ER. We did not want to do that now. So had to come up with another plan.?

I am so sorry to miss this as I was looking forward to it all day.

Will connect to see what we missed.
