Fuze Meeting is a versatile and well designed web conferencing application that can be used from mobile devices. It provides all the standard features you would expect from a web conferencing tool and also integrates with many instant messaging networks. One of its unique selling points is the ability to share high definition content with the participants in a meeting, which may be useful to some people.
The first thing you will notice about Fuze Meeting is that they have a very attractively designed website to promote their product. This eye for design extends to the application itself which looks every bit as good as the website. However, Fuze Meeting isn't just a pretty face; it also provides a good number of features to help you in running web conferences. Desktop sharing is easy to achieve and the host can quickly switch between presenters to allow participants to share their desktops too. The application also allows you to upload content for use in the meeting before the meeting starts - this is useful as it is possible to share high definition content which would take a long time to stream from your computer.
Fuze Meeting does not provide integrated VOIP support for communications, unlike some other services, but does provide a teleconferencing service that guests can use. Invitations can be sent out to guests with the appropriate details for dialling in or, alternatively, you can use the application to dial out to your guests. This is a useful feature as a common complaint about web conferences is that they never start on time. Fuze Meeting also integrates with many instant messaging networks so that you can import your contacts and send invitations this way.
A useful feature of Fuze Meeting not offered by many services of this kind is that participants can join meetings from their blackberry or iPhone. Some features are limited for mobile participants, but most are there and work very well even with the smaller screen and limited processing power of a mobile device.
Fuze Meeting seemed pretty reliable during our tests and security is also well catered for. All communications are encrypted using 128-bit SSL encryption which should be enough for most purposes.
Fuze Meeting is a decent all round service and is very reasonably priced. It can't handle large scale web seminars so will not appeal to everyone, but for those who want a good looking web conferencing tool for small to medium sized meetings it should definitely be a consideration. For some other options have a look at the products in our top ten list.
