Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

BlueJeans

  • Shut down. Verizon announced the closure on 8 August 2023 and wound the service down through the first half of 2024, starting with the Basic tier and free trials on 31 August 2023
  • bluejeans.com no longer resolves
  • Verizon bought it for $400 million in 2020 and closed it citing a changing market, so there is no successor product to move to within the same vendor

  • Paid plans are sold in fixed participant tiers of 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250, so capacity is bought in blocks
  • Recording storage on the Standard plan is 5 GB per host, with additional 25 GB blocks sold annually up to 1 TB per organisation
