Fuzebox Introduces Videoconferencing App For Mac
Has squeezed its online meeting experience into a new iPhone app called Fuze Join for iPhone. The company that Apple for 2011. In fact, it even had an earlier iPhone app, but CEO Jeff Cavins says the company realized that it wasn’t as good as it needed to be, so the team took the app down last year and started working on a new one. “We just wanted to do something completely different and much more advanced,” he says. “We want to put personal telepresence in the palm of your hand.” So what’s changed in the new version? Well, FuzeBox added what is perhaps the key feature, the ability to broadcast and view video. It also rethought the interface, allowing users to control the app with just five buttons.

Cavins took me through a demo of the new FuzeBox app — joining a meeting, viewing video feeds from other participants, starting text chats, and sharing our own slides and documents. There were lots of nice touches, for example the ability to tap a point on a slide on the iPhone screen and having that point get highlighted with a red dot on everyone else’s screen. We could also to get video from telepresence systems offered by other companies like Polycom and Cisco/tandberg. What was most impressive, however, was the speed and responsiveness. We were able to watch high-quality streaming video (which Cavins says was 1080p resolution) over a cellular network connection in downtown San Francisco, and it was perfectly synced up with what was shown on the other computers in the meeting. Cavins was able to scroll through all the slides in a presentation from his iPhone, and again, the screens of the other participants followed virtually instantaneously. One limitation on this front is the fact that you can “only” watch four video streams at once, so that the app doesn’t tax the iPhone too heavily.
FuzeBox meetings can actually be much larger than that, so when you go over four streams, the remaining participants are represented by a still image at the bottom of the screen. You can move participants from one area to another, so if someone important joins late, you can still tell the app you want to see their video feed (it just means someone else will get bumped).
Fuzebox Introduces Video Conferencing App For Mac Computer
Fuze Join for iPhone is available to FuzeBox customers as part of its overall meeting service.
Visual application maker FuzeBox is introducing a new telepresence solution designed specifically for the iPad and Android tablets. Users of this platform will be able to conduct most tasks they would be able to on a desktop or laptop. Features include starting and hosting secure, multi-party telepresence meetings with a single click, recording meetings, and dynamic camera control. To take further advantage of the tablet itself, the app supports gesture-based annotations of shared documents on touchscreens. FuzeBox CEO Jeff Cavins explained in a statement that many businesses are looking at tablets much more favorably, to the point where 'they’re becoming an ideal platform for mobile video conferencing, collaboration and extending the capabilities of dedicated telepresence systems.' Cavins has a point.
Not only are tablets so obviously portable (slim and light designs), they usually have a number of connectivity options (Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, Bluetooth, sometimes SD card slots). Tablets are also a lot cheaper to hand out to employees than notebook computers, with perhaps the exception of netbooks or Chromebooks, if you want to include those in the same category. FuzeBox isn't alone in seeing this. For example, both and have video conferencing solutions for tablets.
Speaking of competitors (and collaborators, in this case), FuzeBox has also announced that its Fuze Telepresence Connect technology is now available as a cloud-based hosted solution for iPad and Android tablets, Macs, PCs and other mobile devices. This means users can connect Fuze sessions with other telepresence systems from the likes of Polycom, Tandberg, and Teliris, among others without any additional installations.
