BlueJeans – Joining

EIGHT (and 9) Ways FOR INSTRUCTORS to Join a BlueJeans Meeting or Class

If any one of these ways doesn’t work for joining a meeting or class, try another way. There are eight ways to join a meeting! How many do you know?

Tips for muting/disabling video on joining a call

  • Via Icons: Mute sound and disable/enable video via the icons at top of screen
  • Via Shortcuts: “M” (for mute/unmute audio) and “V” (to enable/disable audio feed)
  • To Talk: Use “T” to “push-to-talk” while your audio is muted. To speak while on mute, users may push the “T” key on their keyboard to temporarily unmute themselves and speak. When they release the “T” key, they will return to a muted state.
