Hosted by: Vice President of Product Management, Greg Saiz (more…)
Did you know? We integrate with LDAP!
First: What’s LDAP? LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. In layman’s speak it’s the protocol that allows you to use a single sign on over multiple accounts on the same IP address. Meaning, you can use your ever-changing work email/password to sign into multiple systems and programs.
And now, including Fuze Meeting!
For best results we recommend deploying our LDAP server behind your firewall. If your LDAP server is accessible over the public internet, we can integrate without an appliance.

Quick tip: For your first webinar, shoot for the 45 minute session
The truth is, if you’re hosting a webinar, it’s pretty likely that you’re an expert in your subject area and you could probably talk for days and days about it.
Control yourself (and respect your audience.)
Whet their appetite and say enough “big picture” stuff to establish yourself as an expert, but most importantly, give your audience confidence that respect their time. With your Fuze Meeting subscription, you can have as many webinars as you like for the same monthly fee, so consider splitting up your 2 hour monologue into a few bite-sized sessions.
Avoid PowerPoint fatigue and focus on your message instead!
In the end, you’ll leave them wanting more.

Go to Fuzemeeting.com and you’ll now notice a new left-hand panel for chat/problem reporting and a new top level navigation item for support – both utilizing Zendesk. You can also go directly to our support pages by visiting http://support.fuzemeeting.com.

3 things you need to know about video conferencing etiquette
Lighting, clothing & background
Well, a week into your video conferencing subscription, and I’m sure you’ve noticed…there’s a way to do it well, and then there’s the “other way.” Needless to say, there are about 4000 little tips and tricks we could dish out, but for NOW, we’re going to focus on the three most important and easiest to master.
1. Lighting matters. The difference between one light bulb is, well, the difference between night and day. The only difference in these images below is flipping on one little desk lamp. So do yourself a favor and brighten up!
Tip: If you have a bright light shining right at you and you *still* look dark, you’re probably backlit. If able, spin yourself around so you’re facing into the light, and I bet you’ll look a lot better.
How to Video Conference from Fuze Meeting
Our video conferencing is amazingly intuitive, but just in case you need some help, here’s a handy little guide to get you started. Now…just a reminder, video conferencing is only available as part of our professional package but you can upgrade at any time.
Once you login to Fuze Meeting from your host account, a frameless browser window is launched and you’ll see a “Start Vid Conf” button on your home screen.
Video Conferencing is here at last!
March 30th will most certainly go down in the FuzeBox history books because today….TODAY we launched video conferencing across all platforms!
