6 Questions for Larry BoBerry
(and the Infinite Meeting)
Larry BoBarry (may or may not be his actual last name), our live demo guru, spends his week with a headset slung over his noggin, a mouse welded to his palm and a hankering to show people about the wonders of Fuze Meeting.
Those of us who sit an ear shot away have heard some pretty interesting things coming out of the demos, and the we thought WAIT…let’s ask Larry some questions!
How long have you been demoing for Fuze?
I’ve been doing the live demos here at Fuze for about 7 months.
How many demos would you say that is?
More than I can count even with my shoes off.
What is the thing that people are most confused about when they get into a Fuze Meeting?
How content is shared.
Care to set them straight?
Fuze has two basic methods of sharing content: the classic “let me show you my screen” and the “upload your file to the Fuze Meeting system.”
“Let me show you my screen” AKA desktop sharing is great for showing websites and custom applications or programs.
“Uploading your file” AKA content sharing allows for higher quality, collaboration and much faster access. Hosts and presenters should use this method if they want to share: PowerPoint, Word docs, HD videos, audio files or high res images.
What’s the strangest thing that’s ever happened on a demo?
The was one customer who thought he’d discovered a bug – he was sharing his own screen, but was seeing his own screen within that screen, causing an infinite loop – kind of like holding two mirrors together. Turns out he had accidentally opened two browsers and joined from both so he was essentially viewing his own screen share (and screen within the screen share (and screen within that screen within the screen share and so on)).

I vote Larry should use that screen-shot as his wallpaper for all of his demos.
