Extension summary

The Fuze for Chrome extension allows you to initiate phone calls directly from web pages, including Gmail emails and Microsoft Teams chats, and create video meetings right from your Google Calendar with a single click.

Simply click on the Fuze icon next to any phone number, listed on a web page, to make a call. To create a meeting from Google Calendar, simply click "Add Fuze Meeting" and the event invitations will include the meeting invite details.

How to Get Started: Once Fuze for Chrome is installed, you will see a small notification in the top right corner of Chrome explaining that it has been successfully installed.

For Click to Call: Making a call is as simple as clicking on the Fuze icon next to the browser address bar and choosing “Make a call”. A dial pad will appear allowing you to easily call any number, even if it requires an extension. It will also automatically detect phone numbers on websites. Click on the Fuze icon next to the phone number and your call will be placed.

For Calendar Integration: Visit Google Calendar at https://calendar.google.com, and click the "Create" button to create a new meeting. You will notice that there is a new action called "Add Fuze Meeting". The first time you click the link, you will be prompted to sign in to Fuze. Using your credentials to sign in, you will see that your Google Calendar event is now a Fuze Meeting. Proceed to add all the necessary information directly within the Meeting Details view. You can choose to create an Open, Private, or Webinar type meeting in the Meeting Type dropdown. Once you've included the guests you want to invite, you can then click save and Google will notify your guests via email. Your invitees will see the meeting details in the invite with clear and easy instructions on how to join.

As a developer this extension gives me headaches with some regularity. It would be great if there was an attribute, or property we could use to indicate that the values inside the tag should be ignored by the extension because they are not phone numbers.

We had Fuze a few years ago, and long after installing it, this extension keeps coming back even though I've disabled and removed Fuze entirely. I removed it from the PC using their "FuzeClean" tool, and it still persists. I removed Chrome entirely and wiped all of my user data and when I start Chrome clean, the first thing that pops up is that Fuze was added. No policies or anything that would push this. It's just a leftover from the software being installed that I can't get rid of.

Causes issues all the time. For instance the new setting "Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit:" is messing up a ton of sites that I visit. Why is this new feature defaulted to all sites?
