BlueJeans, one of the market leaders in video conferencing, recently announced a new selection of features for users. These core capabilities will help to enhance meeting security, time management, and engagement. The update was driven by increasing demand for a more natural collaboration environment in the work from home landscape. As more of the world accepts remote working as crucial form of business continuity, these secure experiences are key.
BlueJeans Meetings is working hard to keep employees connected and productive in these trying times. The company saw a 300% greater increase in use over its average before COVID-19. As companies were forced to work remotely, people have used BlueJeans to scale safely into the cloud.

- Restricted Meetings: This new capability provides extra authentication modes for restricting meeting access. Only invited participants will be able to join a meeting using a unique passcode. Restricted meetings will protect both internal and external conversations

- AES-256 Encryption: All content, including video and audio, will be encrypted using high-standard methods for security and faster output

- Quick lock: This feature at the top of the screen will allow meeting hosts to prevent unwanted guests from joining a confidential conversation
