<li><font face="arial, sans-serif">it didn't work. I chatted with the bluejeans corp. helpdesk, and they admitted that the google chat feature stopped working several weeks back, and they have no current solution for it.</font></li>

<li><font face="arial, sans-serif">google chrome / video chat / hangouts</font></li></ol></div><div><br></div><div>How was the audio quality relative to ESNET?</div>
<div><ol><li><font face="arial, sans-serif">was ok, seemed worse than ESnet. ESnet was almost always great, much better than phone audio quality. This seemed more or less equivalent to telephone. All of the usual loopback problems kept happening, but that seems to be a common feature of desktop clients.</font></li>
</ol></div><div><br></div><div>How was the video quality relative to ESNET?</div><div><ol><li><font face="arial, sans-serif">considerably worse. ESnet was always great for people with Polycom hardware, and often great for desktop video. This video was quite poor (coarse-pixelled slow-updating) and less flexible than ESnet, where one could switch screen layouts easily with the remote. </font></li>
</ol></div><div>Were you able to participate in the desktop sharing that we tried? </div><div><ol><li><font face="arial, sans-serif">no, it said that the screen resolution was insufficient and would not show the slides</font></li>
<li><font face="arial, sans-serif">no, the bluejeans client would not load in chrome, meeting screen was blank. I called bluejeans support, and they confirmed that the client only works on some linux platforms.</font></li>
