FAQ

Can multiple people use BBM Enterprise on the same Windows device?

Yes. Multiple users can install and activate BBM Enterprise in their Windows profiles on the same device. When a user signs in to their profile, they can access their unique BBM Enterprise account.

Is there a maximum file size for attachments?

Yes. The maximum size for files shared in BBM Enterprise is 128 megabytes (MB).

Why do I see a message that this conversation can only be accessed from this device?

You will see this message when the person that you are chatting with is using a non-enterprise version of BBM or is using BBM Protected. You can access this chat only on the device that you designated as your primary device. Also note the following restrictions: • These chats cannot be restored. • Feature updates and improvements cannot be applied to these chats.

• Q: Why do I receive a slow network connection warning during a conference?
• A: If you are using BBM Enterprise conferencing over a VPN connection, you might receive a slow network warning during conferences because the VPN doesn’t prioritize the conference voice and video traffic over other network traffic. To resolve this issue, your administrator can configure split tunneling for BBM Enterprise so that the voice and video traffic can be routed securely over a standard network connection that bypasses the VPN. For information on how to configure network connections for BBM Enterprise, administrators can go to support.blackberry.com to read article KB 000045300.
• Q: How do I know which video and voice chats are protected?
• A: If your company subscribes to the BBM Enterprise voice service, all voice and video chats to other BBM Enterprise or BBM Protected users are protected. Additionally, if your administrator turns on the Protected Plus feature, all outgoing calls are protected, even if you call a contact that’s using BBM. Incoming calls from BBM users are not protected. Your administrator can turn off protected video chatting. To check if your administrator turned off protected calling, click > Policies, and check if BBM Enterprise video calling or BBM Enterprise voice calling are listed under Features Turned Off. If your voice or video chat is protected, the icon appears on the call screen. If your voice or video chat is not protected, the icon appears on the call screen, and your device will vibrate briefly.
• Q: What sounds can I set for BBM Enterprise?
• A: BBM Enterprise uses the current sound settings for your device. You can change the volume to adjust how loud the classic BBM tone plays. In BBM Enterprise, you can customize your notifications by doing the following: Click > Notifications.
