I was reading about the ten best iPhone productivity apps and noticed that one of them was the app for FuzeMeeting.
I don't recall encountering FuzeMeeting before and it's one of a long line - and seemingly ever-increasing - range of web-conferencing packages, but what stood out was the fact that they had an app for all of the current main-stream mobile devices: iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry and Android. In fact, one writer stated that FuzeMeeting was a reason in itself to buy a tablet PC!
I'm sure I'll now be bombarded with suggestions for other providers that can do this clean-sweep, but as a user of one of the major platforms that doesn't offer this, I was heartened to see that it was possible.
FuzeMeeting does the basics such as sharing documents and your desktop (the sharer needs to download a plug-in), with a text chat window; and all with an integrated teleconference and HD video conferencing - great for those in-built cams on mobile devices. UK iPhone users have commented on the fact that you had to a call a US telephone number, but since these reviews were posted on the App Store a year ago, FuzeMeeting has introduced a wide range of international dial-in numbers. I particularly like how the system manages your resources, both flat and multimedia.
If you want to record your webinar or run webinar-style events or training sessions, then you'll need to upgrade to the Pro version.
Pricing appears very competitive.
Click here for their demo movie and here for a more detailed training session, including the mobile options.
So if your training audience is global and mobile (that only really rhymes in US English), then this might be a good option for delivering simple straightforward online classroom training.
