I can't remember the name of the service used, but Barack Obama (a big name star) held a phone call using a service not too dissimilar from this one, and it crashed, big.
Overall, I think that the team was able to recover fairly well, but the news of the crash was fodder for political opponents for a while -- the irony (IIRC) being that he was hosting the conference call to discuss the status of HealthCare.gov with his supporters, and at the time, the stability of HealthCare.gov was somewhat farcical itself. Hosting that call on a conference call service that was also unstable was just too much for conservative media.
Saying that it works with "big name stars" is a pretty terse way of countering that objection to sale, and has to assuage the minds of actual big name stars likely to use it.
