I would also like the ability to download an MP3 of the audio from the meeting. Thanks!

We would like to be able to download the recordings also, especially the audio because sometimes we need to edit it.  I assume there is no way currently for us to edit our recording on the Fuze site?

I'm not sure if this will help but I also would like the ability to download the recordings for archiving purposes.

Thanks!

I'm very surprised this feature is not already included. GoToMeeting has had this feature for over three (3) years! Hosting on FuzeMeeting's server is nice but that should be a secondary feature, not the primary. Any serious organization has the ability to host their videos themselves, or integrate with YouTube for optimal syndication, and integration with Social Marketing (social media).

Please add this ASAP Fuze team...

This is a very important feature for our organization.  Recommend it highly.

By the way, I apologize for sounding condescending by "any serious organization". Let me rephrase by just saying, "Please add this feature Fuze team!" Thanks.

"We will still use this as the primary method of recording Fuze Meetings but we will allow users to select recordings and export them to a QuickTime or similar movie format."

Any timeframe yet on "When" this will be available? End of the month, end of the quarter, or end of the year? Thanks!

I hope this update will be available sooner than later!  It is something our organization needs badly.

Being able to export recordings would be a great edition. Using third party software can be time consuming and inconsistent. Hope to see this soon.

<blockquote>"possible we may need to charge for each recording exported"</blockquote>

If you do have to charge, then charge for the ability to export per month (year), and not per export. For instance, your Pro (with webinar) could have an optional feature to allow for exporting your recordings to a Quicktime or WMV file. If it doesn't cost more than $20 additional, then it would still make Fuze Meeting a better option than GoToMeeting. As mentioned, GoToMeeting already has this feature of saving a recording included in their price. Fuze Meeting Pro ($69/month) | GoToMeeting/Webinar ($99/month).

This is a must have feature, I just started my subscription to your service, but if I have to do triple duty I can't see continuing. Exporting the video for editing and then hosting on an intranet, website, or company asset is an important feature. Your solution requires users to either incorporate the screencast program during the meeting, which can really slow a system down, or re-record after the meeting to get the screencast, then upload to do the editing, and then share. To get this feature you want to charge me on top of that, wow this makes me wonder...who owns this meeting and its content, fuze meeting or me?

I agree with the comments of not charging per export. The meeting should belong to the subscriber and not to Fuze. If you're going to charge, then it needs to be a monthly fee for unlimited exports. You will definitely lose our business if you implement a "charge-per-export". Also, suggesting that your end users either use another software to record during or re-record after is not acceptable. This should be priority one if it is not already. Again, this needs to be added ASAP. Thank you.

I understand you can publish a link to the Fuze Meeting recording, but this is not what we're asking here at all. The ability to export the video file, not link, is critical. Our website hosts our videos on our YouTube channel, automatically pulls in those videos to our site, creates a unique page for each video with the descriptions and titles properly mapped, and uses our own customized player for playback of the videos. The key part is the ability to upload the video. Thank you for listening.

Oh ok, great. Sorry for taking that the wrong way.

Greg, the ownership question is valid, why you would think that we would not want to take our recorded files for internal and SEO purposes is perplexing. The only thing I could think was that maybe FuzeMeeting felt that the control of the content belonged to them. I haven't been on a  service yet that hasn't let me download my webinar or video with a paid membership. So now I understand that you do not think that you own it. But you do understand also it is not just about being able to share the meeting in the future, but how it is shared and also having the ability to edit it. There are technical difficulties during recordings, material and screenshots that you may want to add later, etc. I should be able to export it, edit it, and then either upload it or embed it somewhere. I agree with Shawn, I hope this happens very, very soon we plan on doing quite a few webinars in the coming months and I don't have the patience to monkey around with recording the webinars twice. I have also recommended this service to a couple of clients, I am not so sure about that recommendation now.

This is a must have feature for my purposes. Sadly, late October is a deal breaker. I'll keep my eye on Fuse but without the ability to export my recordings (video and audio) I'll have to look elsewhere. Also I'd like t +1 the whole charging me for it. It should be part of the monthly fee.

Greg, I didn't miss the October release, I also didn't miss "don't hold me to it"  and "we may need to charge for each recording exported"  my responses were addressing both of those statements. Like Cal and Shawn I also need this feature sooner rather than later. I hope your beta is released soon if not I may need to go elsewhere and then come back when you guys have all the features I need. Thanks for your replies.

I too need this feature.  

- The file MUST be compatible with direct upload to my YouTube channel. (ie: a .move or .avi would be out best bet)
- The file must be editable in any standard video editor (as I and everyone else will want to "trim" the webinar of the pauses and other BS )

Lastly,  Any additional payment for this service would be a absolute deal breaker and force me to go elsewhere.  The reality is EVERY one of your competition has this feature.  And I've not found one yet that charges (I've test 14 other webinar product now,, they all offer free file download of our videos - and they are cheaper monthly as well except for three of them).   IF you feel some need  charge people for video, you should be charging those who want host their videos on your server..  that would make much more sense than charging me to download what is already MINE.  As you've already stated..  Fuze does not own our videos.

Sure hope you do the right thing, because I really like your product and I am willing to Wait until Oct as long as their are no price surprises.

Looking forward to this feature!!!

Having an Export Fuze Meeting Replay or Recordings would definitely be a great feature.

It's 1 November, is the feature available yet?  I urgently need to download a meeting held last week so I can make it available to users stuck behind a firewall.

Agreed, I am anxiously awaiting the release of this feature. Can we get an update?

=C=

I also am eagerly awaiting this feature.  I also have people behind firewalls to whom I need to be able to download.  In addition, I need to be able to cut and excerpt from recorded webinars.  When does it look like this feature will be available?

Also waiting!  At the very least, the ability to edit the meeting recording would be helpful.

I am really disappointed that this feature is not going to be available as promised. I will be probably looking for another service as it was on this promise that I chose Fuze.

Greg,

Just circling back around on this. I'm about to do my 3rd and 4th Fuze Meeting  and  am having more and more customers requesting the physical files. Do we have an ETA?

=C=

Any word on when this will be released?  We have tried to record our videos by screen capturing them, but the quality is horrible and they get out of sync with the audio.  Please, Please, Please release this!

Hello, would you provide the current status of this feature release?  thanks.

Hmm reading through the discussion it seems the d/load feature is not in viewfinder of the development team.

Unfortunately this is one of the key features - not only for me as I see - in order to start using the FuzeMeeting in our company for operational teams trainings with option of recording/downloading the training and pasting to internal knowledge base. 

Sorry to say that, but at this point I'm getting rather closer for subscribing to the competitor's services. :(

Shame - this seems to me as more user-friendly, but functions-wins in this case. I'm afraid Fuze is not aimed primarily to corporate market where such feature is rather matter of internal security policies not to have recording hosted at third party servers.

Mike

Michael,

I point you to this, which was sent to me today. https://twitter.com/#!/fuzemeeting/statuses/169146439958659074

Now, we've been told this is forthcoming twice and twice the deadline has passed so I'm not saying take it at face value. 

The biggest dissapointment to me is not that the feature isn't here; it's that Greg and everyone at Fuze goes quiet on us. TALK TO US. if it really is in development but not quite ready, show us sample, invite one or two in for a private beta or even alpha. Show us progress.

I leiu of that, tell us it's not gonna happen. We are all adults, we aren't going to throw a hissy fit or anything. Yes, a lot of us are likely to leave. But if you are honest with us, when our needs don't include a recording, we may come back. (because honestly, a lot of FuzeMeeting is downright awesome) 

Bottom line, we deserve better than nothing. Give us something. 

=C=

Thanks Cal for sharing the link.

Greg. Unfortunately I'm in situation in a company which requires me not to wait until "something happens". I believe you guys do have brilliant product ... BUT ... 

For sure it matches most of the market demands. What I was searching for quite long time was to have a platform-independent solution with option of dial-in, possibly connection to the Telepresence systems, and at least voice recording capability where a recording can be kept offline/in internal systems. Not much competitors offer an option of conducting live meetings of at least 50+ participants and we need this option on weekly basis, so you can guess whom I need to pick now :)

Again, shame - this product is just great, but ... most probably focused on different market than corporate use.

Thanks and wishing all best.

Mike

The conversion to mp4 format is for October 2011 or 2012?

UPDATE:
I have now seen this feature in action on their test server. I am cautiously optimistic. It looks very good but there have been a few changes to the overall workflow so I want to  get it installed and play with it. I'll let Greg speak to release dates and such but I am VERY PLEASED that this feature may soon see the light of day!

Thanks Greg and thanks to all the FuzeMeeting engineers!

=C=

Okay so we have been strung along on this for a year now and you guys keep moving the date forward... It is now the end of the first quarter 2012. When is this feature going to be ready?

Hi Mandy,

While I am in no way an apologist for FuzeMeeting - I've been waiting almost a year myself for this feature - I was given a demo of it and it does look nice. It works exactly the way you would expect it to and the end result is an MP4 that I can suck into my editing software and play with.

I was given a timeframe but not an exact date of release. I'm sure when they get close enough, they will reveal their timeline. 

I will say this. It was enough to keep me around for one more round of my conference. If they don't deliver before the next conference, I'll probably move on but because they are showing progress, I'm going to stick around a bit longer.

My $.02

=C=

Any chance we can get beta access to this? I have 12 hours of recordings and capturing it from the screen is having quality issues and taking forever. 1Q ends in two days...

Michael

A demo is of no use unless it gives us access to our recordings. GoToWebinar was a pain in the neck to create the recordings but at least I could get a quality result. 

Anyone have any tips on getting a good-quality video capture with the current kludge? We have not been happy with what we're able to generate. It's starting to look like I have 12 hours of content I need to regenerate...

Greg / Cal,

Status update on this feature?

Will this feature be part of the upgrade on May 19?  If not, when will it be available?  Thank you.
