The pandemic gave a major boost to the creative economy, with an increasing number of people considering themselves to be creators. But not all of them have the necessary tools to compete in today’s crowded marketplace.

The BlueJeans Studio brings powerful production tools to BlueJeans Events, giving corporate and individual users the power to produce spectacular virtual events and live streams. From the Studio producer dashboard, creators can create TV production-level events that engage audiences while expanding their reach.

Users looking to maximize broadcast reach can live stream to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and other streaming platforms simultaneously and embed the live stream or pre-recorded event into a website.

With no production expertise required to create live streams or videos in 1080p, BlueJeans Studio brings the existing BlueJeans Events audience engagement tools to allow presenters to engage with the audience.
