You will need TWO screens for the training to be effective.
The first screen needs to be a Windows computer with Bluebeam Revu 2020 installed.
The second screen is to display the Zoom meeting. This could be a second monitor, a larger tablet (9″ +) or a smart phone displayed on to a TV.
Bluebeam Revu Requirements
You will need a fully functioning version of Bluebeam Revu 2020. Any Windows version is ok (Standard, CAD, or eXtreme). The Mac version will not work. If you have an older version, you can download a 2020 trial and install it ‘side by side’ your existing install. This will allow you to continue to use your older version without losing your license and you can use the new version to follow along in the training.
