Fuze 6.22
Key Features
-
Emergency Calling with GPS Location (US/Canada only): We have updated our emergency services process and handling on Fuze Mobile -
-
As a Fuze user, you will now be prompted to share your GPS location for the purposes of emergency calling. Users can permanently dismiss the prompt. If dismissed, this feature can be re-enabled via Settings.
-
All emergency calling will now be handled via Fuze Mobile and no longer be pushed to the native dial pad on your mobile device.
-
If GPS location is not shared with Fuze Mobile, Fuze will use your provisioned location information during a 911 call, which may not be accurate. Therefore, if you dismiss the location prompt, you will be individually responsible during an emergency call to provide/confirm your physical location.
-
This feature applies only to users with services located in the US and/or Canada.
-
Enhanced Call Queue Management: As a Contact Center supervisor, you can now transfer a call from a queue you supervise to any queue within the same organization, even if it’s not supervised by you. Exclusive to Fuze Desktop and Fuze Web.
-
Walkie-Talkie Mode: On Android devices, play incoming audio out loud as it comes in, even if Fuze Mobile is in the background. Users can then reply by simply holding a button and easily replay any missed audio as well.
Walkie-Talkie communications will be received as audio messages by users on iOS devices and media attachments for Fuze Desktop/Web users. Full Walkie-Talkie Mode functionality will be available for iOS users in a future release. -
Call Queue Alert Setup: As a supervisor, create, edit, and delete alerts for managed queues directly from your tablet. This feature has been available on Fuze Desktop/Web and is now available on Fuze Mobile for tablets.
-
Video background blur: Available on Fuze Web only, users can apply background blur to their video feed when joining meetings. The user may select their preferred background blur setting from within the dropdown available in the green room or by going to audio/video settings during a meeting.

Fuze 6.20
Screen share from chat (Fuze Desktop, Web)
We are introducing the ability to quickly and easily screen share in a 1:1 chat conversation without starting a video call or a meeting. This feature was previously only available by request but will now be available by default for users on 6.20 or higher. Please note that users must have meeting capabilities in order to initiate a screen share from chat. Also, starting a screen share is only available from Fuze Desktop and Web at this time.

August 2021
Fuze 6.18
Fuze Desktop and Web
Audio (echo) and video improvements (Fuze Desktop, Mobile) - We have upgraded our calling and meeting technology stack with a new WebRTC library, resulting in the reduction of echo in calls and meetings, as well as general enhancements to improve audio and video quality.
BETA: Screen share from chat (Fuze Desktop, Mobile, Web) - We are introducing the ability to quickly and easily screen share in a 1:1 chat conversation without starting a video call or a meeting.

June 2021
Fuze 6.16
Fuze Desktop and Web
Join third-party meetings (Fuze Desktop, Web, Mobile) - You can now join third-party meetings directly from your Fuze Meetings list. Once you have connected your calendar to Fuze, select any event from your Fuze Meetings list containing a meeting invitation for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, GoToMeeting, or Webex to instantly launch that meeting link.
Fuze Contact Center
Queue call ringing status - call details (Fuze Desktop, Web) - We have improved the queue call ringing status experience by adding the caller ID and phone number of the caller. The queue call ringing status displays which agent is actively receiving a call from a queue. This information is available in the Queue Details, Your Agents, and Watch List views. We have also removed a restriction that previously prevented this information from displaying for agents signed into queues with their mobile peer.
Universal idle time across queues (Fuze Desktop, Web) - Previously, agent idle time was defined as the amount of time an agent was idle since that agent’s last interaction in a specific queue. This means that idle time was different for the same agent in multiple queues depending on which queue the supervisor was viewing. With the release of 6.16, agent idle time will synchronize across all queues, meaning that the shortest time an agent has been idle will display in each individual queue that the agent is assigned to. This update provides a more accurate picture of an agent’s activity level, especially if the agent is assigned to multiple queues*. This feature will be enabled by default for all new customers and will be enabled upon request for existing customers. If you would like to turn on this feature, please fill out this very short form.
*For example, an agent is in two queues: a very busy queue in which an agent wrapped up a call five minutes ago and a very slow one in which an agent’s last call was three hours ago. Previously, a supervisor viewing the slow queue sees the agent as idle for three hours. With universal idle time, that supervisor would see that agent as idle for five minutes in both queues.

May 2021
Fuze Desktop, Web, Mobile 6.15
Supervisor alerts on tablet (Fuze Mobile) - Fuze Contact Center supervisors can see alerts configured from Fuze Desktop/Web in the Manage Queues screen (Abandoned calls, Calls waiting, Average call wait, Active agents, SLA, Longest wait time), with additional alerts to be released in subsequent releases. For added visibility, a badge appears on the Contact Center tab when there is an alert.
In addition to the supervisor alert update for Fuze Contact Center, Fuze 6.15 includes a number of performance improvements and bug fixes.
Fuze Mobile 6.15 will be available in the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store the week of May 10.

April 2021
Fuze 6.14
Fuze Desktop and Web
Immersive screen share (Fuze Desktop, Web) - We have introduced new options for video layouts in Fuze Meetings to make viewing screen share and shared content more immersive and customizable. New functionality includes:
-
Hiding the top and bottom toolbars when the user’s mouse isn't moving
-
New video layout drop-down menu located in the top toolbar
-
New video layout options while viewing screen share, including a Speaker View and Side View
Fuze Contact Center
Your Agents view enhancements (Fuze Desktop, Web) - As we continue to improve the recently introduced Your Agents and Watch List experiences, we have introduced the following actions for both views:
-
Search for agent by name
-
Temporarily adjust agent priority on a specific queue
-
Sign agent in/out or pause/resume agent across all queues
Queue calls ringing status (Fuze Desktop, Web) - Building on an enhancement that allows supervisors to see when specific agents are actively ringing in a call queue, supervisors can now also see which of the calls waiting are actively ringing agents, and therefore, which calls are most likely to be answered next.

March 2021
Fuze 6.13
Fuze Desktop and Web
Pickup group updates (Fuze Desktop, Web, Mobile) - You no longer need to be within close proximity of desk phones to participate in pickup groups. Now, delegate members in a pickup group can see, accept, and ignore incoming calls from Fuze Desktop, Mobile, or Web. To help members of a pickup group avoid unnecessary distractions, these notifications are disabled by default but can be enabled in Settings. Additionally, we have adjusted the timing of the delegate notifications to provide the intended recipient of a call with more time to answer the call before delegates are notified.
Fuze Contact Center
Your Agents view updates (Fuze Desktop/Web) - We have enhanced the Your Agents view with several new capabilities to align its functionality with the Queues view. Supervisors can now sign agents in/out of specific queues, pause/resume agents in specific queues, and monitor calls. Also, to build their watch list for the first time, supervisors can add agents directly to the blank watch list and continue to add agents directly from the Your Agents view.

February 2021
Fuze 6.12
Fuze Contact Center
Your agents - Previous releases of Fuze Contact Center have focused on giving supervisors visibility into queues and queue-related behaviors, but we know that supervisors also want to know how their agents are doing, regardless of what queue they are in. To that end, we are releasing two new ways to visualize contact center activity that allow supervisors to focus on their agents.
-
Your Agents is a view that gives supervisors a holistic view of all activity from the agents who are members of any of the supervisor’s queues (including those agents’ activity in other queues)
-
Watch List is a self-curated list of individuals from the Your Agents view such as a manager's direct reports, agents in training, or agents requiring more attention.
Fuze Desktop and Web
Fuze 6.12 includes improvements to audio quality during ad-hoc conference calls.

Fuze 6.11
Fuze Desktop and Web
Reply to messages - You can now reply to specific messages, making it much easier to maintain context in a busy group conversation. Reply to includes a mention of the author of the original message, notifying the author that you are replying directly to something he or she has previously written. (This was supported for Fuze Mobile as of 6.8)
Fuze Contact Center
Supervisor queue search - Supervisors will now have the ability to search for a specific queue from the Manage Queues view, complementing the agent search in queue details released with Fuze 6.9.

Redesigned the meeting join flow on Fuze Web for participants who have denied Fuze access to their microphone but still need audio
-
Improved the recognition of inbound caller IDs and local numbers
-
Ensured that meeting audio switches automatically to newly connected headsets when using Fuze Web for Chrome
-
Made other miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes

- Supervisor agent search - Supervisors now have the ability to search for an agent from within their queue details views.
- Agent call ringing status - When agents logged in with Fuze Desktop or with their desk phones receive incoming calls from a queue, supervisors will see the agent’s status as “ringing”.

Fuze 6.8
This version of Fuze Desktop and Web introduces the following enhancements and new features:
Prepend in caller ID - If your call flows include prepends (most commonly used to supplement caller information for shared line appearances), that information will now display correctly when receiving a call on Fuze Desktop and Web. This was supported for Fuze Mobile as of version 6.7.
Wider scroll bars - The scroll bars in the contacts list and chat window have been widened for easier navigation.
Fuze Contact Center

-
Agent pause time
-
Longest talk time

Longest call wait time

Fuze Meetings
End Meeting for All confirmation - When meeting hosts or their delegates exit a Fuze Meeting and select the option to End Meeting for All, they will now be asked to confirm that decision. This helps to prevent the meeting participant from inadvertently ending the entire meeting for all participants when looking to leave the meeting.
Fuze Contact Center
Alerts - In addition to previously released alerts (SLA, average call wait, abandon call, and active agents), we’ve added two new alert types:
- Agent Idle Time
- Calls Waiting
Call monitoring for multiple calls - Supervisors can now select which call to monitor if an agent is able to manage more than one call at a time.
Queue call on hold - Supervisors can now see if a queue call is on hold from the Queue Details screen, along with the call duration.
Queue call recording visibility - Supervisors can now see if an agent’s queue call is currently recording.

Fuze 6.6
This version of Fuze Desktop and Web introduces the following enhancements and new features:
- Alerts for Fuze Contact Center supervisors - Supervisors need to be aware of issues in their contact center as soon as they happen. To that end, supervisors can now configure color-coded (yellow/orange/red) alerts for queues and agent behaviors. The following alert types are available on a per-queue basis: SLA, abandoned call rates, average wait time, calls waiting, and active agents. Additional alerts will be available in subsequent releases. Learn more about alerts for Fuze Contact Center in the Fuze Help Center.
- Font support for content sharing - We’ve added support for 20 new Google fonts for uploaded content to the content locker in Fuze Meetings. Documents and presentations will now display as expected.

Fuze 6.3
This version of Fuze Desktop and Web introduces the following enhancements and new features:
- Microsoft Edge support - The full Fuze Web experience is now supported by Microsoft Edge on both Windows and Mac.

Note: The current Chromium-based version of Microsoft Edge is supported, while the deprecated Microsoft Edge Legacy is not.
- Advanced call monitoring - Supervisors can coach and train agents directly in Fuze Contact Center with new advanced call monitoring features. Now, supervisors can listen, whisper, or join any call their agents take from the call queue.
- Long contact names - Users can now hover over a long contact name to display the full name. This is particularly useful when selecting a transfer target or searching for a contact.
- Keyboard shortcut update - The keyboard shortcut for starting a video call has changed to Ctrl+Shift+M (Windows) / Cmd+Shift+M (Mac) from Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V. This change avoids a conflict with the commonly used ‘paste without formatting’ command.

Fuze 6.1
Updated agent view - Now that we've released a new queue supervisor view, we've taken the opportunity to bring some of those improvements to the agent view. It's easier than ever to see all of the information queue agents need in one screen, especially for members of multiple queues. The queue sign-in experience has also been simplified with a clearer device selection dropdown.
March 2020
Fuze 6.0
Fuze 6.0 introduces the following enhancements and new features:
|
Reactions - See a message you like and want to respond in a way words can’t express? Now you can react to messages with emojis. Add a quick ‘thumbs up’, pile on to other reactions, or choose your own. |
 |
New keyboard shortcuts - As part of our ongoing effort to make it easy to get your work done with Fuze, we’ve added keyboard shortcuts for some common actions. With simple commands, you can open the dial pad, start a call or video meeting, and leave a call or meeting.
Chat integrations - When your applications work better together, you can get more work done. Now that you can build webhook-based integrations, you’ll be able to get notifications within Fuze when something important happens in another application - a support ticket gets created, a sales opportunity goes from ‘open’ to ‘at risk’, etc.
Edit Queue Display Names - Members of queues will now see queue names displayed rather than queue keys. Since queue names are editable, while queue keys are not, this should make the administration of queues easier.
Queue Pause improvements - Members of queues who have paused themselves can change the reason for pausing without having to resume and re-pause, which could result in immediate calls for agents in busy queues.
Supervisor improvements - Fuze Contact Center supervisors can now view queue details and manage agents from within Fuze Desktop and Fuze Web. Supervisors can see real-time statistics related to queues and agents, cherry pick or transfer a call from within a queue, and handle agent management functions such as sign in, sign out, pause, or resume agent in a queue.
To gain access to this functionality you will need to have a supervisor SKU (entitlement) and be added to the appropriate queues in the Call Flow Manager. Please reach out to your admin for assistance.

Improved meetings technology and EOL
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve your experience with Fuze, we’re upgrading the technology that powers Fuze Meetings. The end result will be more stable, higher-quality meetings, including fewer issues with audio, video, screen sharing, or joining.
