For problems with the video quality, try exiting and re-entering the meeting.  (Check to see whether you accidently have the mute setting turned on.)  For problems with audio, review Bluejean's audio troubleshooting tips.

I'm getting an authentication error, what could be wrong?

There are several reasons you might be getting an authentication error:

• Your email address is unpublished in the Penn Directory.  For now, you'll need to publish your email address in Penn's directory in order to be able to use the Bluejeans Virtual Meeting service.
  It may take up to 2 hours for your new setting to take effect, and allow you to log into Virtual Meetings/Bluejeans.  You can "unpublish" it again after 2 hours and you'll still be able to use the service.
• You don't have a Wharton account, or your account does not include an email address. You'll need to contact our support team for further help.
