Launching BlueJeans calls

With Launcher, users are able to launch BlueJeans meetings via the home screen room calendar with one simple touch.

This article outlines steps required in order to successfully schedule BlueJeans meetings in Launcher, using MS Outlook.

Please note that one touch functionality is dependent on the following:

• A valid Exchange calendar with an associated room mailbox.
• Exchange calendar enabled and set up within Launcher.
