FuzeMeeting app turns iPad into videoconferencing host

FuzeMeeting is just one of several Web services-including Webex, GoToMeeting, and others-that enable you to participate in online meetings, via phone or video, from your Mac. You've as well been able to participate in such meetings from your iPad, using iOS customers and the tablet's built-in camera and microphone. Nevertheless those customers have been hobbled compared to their OS X counterparts. This new Fuze Meeting HD app for the iPad narrows the gap considerably.

Research it calls Telepresence Connect

But Fuze has a research it calls Telepresence Connect, which the company says moves the processing required to make those systems understand one another to the cloud. That's how the company can enable an iPad to communicate with all of them.

The new app as well includes a clever, touch-based laser pointer-like cursor, which allows you to direct participants' attention to different parts of shared documents. From the iPad app, you can as well opt to record meetings; those recordings are available for listening or download within minutes of a meeting's conclusion. In the previous version, you needed to use Skype if you wanted to participate via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol); the new app has a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) client built-in.
