Problem with media uploading (RESOLVED)
Hi,
This morning Fuze Meeting experienced a malfunction with media uploading and transcoding. We’re very sorry that this disrupted your day. We understand that Fuze Meeting provides a service that you use at critical times and the downtime, rare as it maybe; we at Fuze Meeting take it very seriously.
We were able to resolve the issue in 30 minutes and allow media uploading and transcoding to resume.
Please know we are working tirelessly to ensure this doesn’t happen again. It is incredibly painful for us see this happen. We hope you accept our apology and we thank you for being a Fuze Meeting customer.

Fuze Meeting for iPad
Like most of you, we at Fuze Box have been eagerly awaiting the news of the iSlate, iTablet…iPad. It’s quite nice if I say so myself…but it’ll only be as good as its content. So our intrepid Fuze Meeting team are already working on developing the easiest, boldest and most powerful collaboration service for the iPad. We have a couple of months of work to do while Mr. Jobs and team deliver the iPad but we’re confident that web conferencing and collaboration will never be the same. Stay tuned to this post by subscribing to the RSS feed for future announcements.
Major advancements. Minor annoyances.
Dear Fuze Meeting-ers,
Unfortunately, as we pave the way to web conferencing perfection, there’s bound to be a little roadwork. If you haven’t logged in since the last release, you’ll be prompted to install the new plug-in. *pause for moans* Now then. Once you install, you’ll enjoy these spanking new features:
- Better screen sharing performance
- A single click to accept all attendees into a meeting
- Improved audio conferencing dialog box with clearer directions
- Enhanced buttons to allow posting of replays to Facebook and Twitter

- Improved flow to easily upgrade your Fuze Meeting account
- Flash logs you can attach to report problems to us should one arise

Top 10 Reasons Why Web Meetings Don’t Start On Time
You’re at work and it’s 9:50 A.M. You spent the whole weekend prepping for your big strategy session with your team. Sales people are calling in from L.A., Boston, and New York, and your boss is dialing in remotely from Chicago. Just when you think you’re really ready to roll, disaster strikes and your 10 AM start-time is foiled.
What happened?!
Your presentation doesn’t load, your team is late, the dial-in doesn’t work, and you can’t figure out how to get back into the session after your PC freezes. Sound familiar?
Here’s a list of 10 Reasons Why Web Meetings Don’t Start On Time and how Fuze Meeting can help:
1. Your presentation doesn’t load.
Fuze Meeting makes meeting preparation easy. Pre-load any relevant meeting files in advance to save you the hassle of that last minute scramble. Fuze Meeting supports Powerpoints, images, videos, and documents.
2. Mac users can’t get in.
Ever start a meeting and you have to download something on your desktop in order to get started? For Mac users, this can be a problem. Because Fuze Meeting is web-based, all attendees need is a simple URL to join the meeting.
3. Your computer freezes.
This happens to the best of us. The major dilemma in this scenario is that often, you need to restart the whole meeting as the moderator or even worse, you need to terminate the session and start all over again. With Fuze Meeting, getting back into a meeting session is a simple click away.
4. Attendees are running late.
By far one of our favorite features, Fuze Meeting’s Fetch system allows you to gather your attendees’ contact info and brings them into the session for you.
5. You can’t find the reference notes from a previous meeting.
Fuze Meeting’s system keeps your meeting alive “in the cloud” after your meeting is closed, making them easily retrievable for future reference.
6. You’re adding attendees last minute.
Often we get notified of someone joining a meeting very last minute. With Outlook integration and Fetch, getting that person in on the action is quick and hassle-free.
7. You’re not in the office.
Whether you’re on a train, at home, or out of the country, travel is often the biggest deterrent to conducting a meeting all together. Fuze Meeting’s easy to use interface and HD capabilities allow you to meet virtually anywhere, without compromising convenience or quality.
8. You’re on the go.
If you’ve scheduled a meeting and find out your train is late, no problem. Fuze has BlackBerry and iPhone applications that allow you to conduct your meeting from your handheld device.
9. You can’t find your meeting link.
With Outlook integration, Fuze Meeting will allow you to keep your calendar up to date with all of your meeting info. You’ll never have to scramble for another link or conference bridge again.
10. Your presentation and audio aren’t in sync with attendees.
Thanks to Fuze Meeting’s patent-pending synchronization technology, you’ll never have to worry about your participants falling behind during a presentation. Your images and video will stream in HD without any lag time.
There are probably countless other scenarios that could go wrong when starting a web-based meeting, but hopefully you can eliminate these ten from the list.
Do you have other examples? Share them… Maybe we can help!!!
