Bluejeans Tips & Tricks
So, your professor has scheduled a Bluejeans session, either for a live class or for “virtual office hours”. The best way to connect to Bluejeans is with the actual app installed on either your computer or mobile device.
On a computer, you will require at least a working microphone, but a camera is even better.
Connecting to Bluejeans requires the “Meeting ID”. This is the 9-digit number that was sent to you by the prof. If you only received a link (ie. https://bluejeans.com/123456789) the meeting ID will be the 9 numbers at the end, although on most computers, tapping on the link will open the app if you already have it installed.

Sometimes (especially on a computer more so than a phone or tablet), getting the camera and microphone to work properly in Bluejeans can be an issue. Bluejeans has a support article with tips to assist in troubleshooting this. ITS can also help, if you have tried these steps and are still having issues. Email helpdesk@ubishops.ca from your BU email account and we’ll contact you.
