WELCOMETOYOURTALK FUSION CONNECT DASHBOARD!
From here, you can manage every aspect of your Events with just a few clicks.
Take a look at each feature of the Dashboard, and what it can do for you:
Quick Links Toolbar: The Talk Fusion CONNECT Quick Links Toolbar contains links to all of your
Talk Fusion CONNECT main pages—Dashboard, Reports, Design Studio, Surveys, My Profile,
and Recordings. This is also where you can download the Talk Fusion Desktop Share to share your
desktop during Live Broadcasts.
Please note: In order to use Desktop Share during a presentation, you must click the Desktop Share Client icon in your
Dashboard to add Desktop Share to your desktop’s Talk Fusion Toolbar before starting a broadcast. Clicking the icon
will add both the Talk Fusion CONNECT Dashboard and Desktop Share to your Talk Fusion Toolbar. If you do not already
have the Talk Fusion Toolbar installed on your computer, clicking the Desktop Share
icon will install the entire updated Talk Fusion Toolbar on your desktop.
The Quick Links Toolbar appears at the top of every page, allowing you
to access all of your pages, from anywhere, in a single click!
Broadcasts: Click to add a new Event to your schedule, and see a
month’s worth of scheduled Events at a glance.
Presenters: Keep track of who can host a Talk Fusion CONNECT
Event in your account and assign Presenters to specific Events. Click
any Presenter for more information, or to
add a new Presenter to your list. Great
News! Elite Package and Pro Pak users
will automatically appear as Presenters
in Talk Fusion CONNECT!
Reports: Click on any past Event to
get detailed information and generate
reports on attendance, recording
statistics, survey responses and more.
(See Pages 12-13.)
Design Studio: The Design Studio is where you create your Event
presentations. Here in the Dashboard, you can see all of the files
uploaded and saved to your Design Studio, and click through to create
a stunning new presentation in a flash.
(See Pages 4-5.)
Tasks: Leave yourself reminders to
schedule meetings, import a new video,
add a presenter—anything at all!

Address Book: It’s your entire Talk Fusion Contact Manager, right in
your Talk Fusion CONNECT Dashboard! Add new individual contacts,
or click on any folder to open your Contact Manager in a new window.
My Profile: Manage your Talk Fusion
user profile image and information.
Click through to add Talk Fusion
or custom Meeting Room Header
and Waiting Room Banners for your
presentations in seconds!
Now that you have familiarized yourself with the features of the Dashboard, it’s time to create a new
presentation.
1. Click on the Design Studio icon in your
Talk Fusion CONNECT Dashboard’s Quick
Links Toolbar.
2. In the Design Studio, you can create
your own presentations using slides,
images, and videos.
3. To upload content for creating
your own presentations, click on
the “Upload Files” button above
the “Files” window. This opens the
“Add Media” window.
4. The “Add
Media” window
gives you the
choice of creating
a video using your computer’s camera, or uploading a video, image or document
file from your computer or other connected source. Simply click on the type of
media you want to import and follow the onscreen instructions. Any content you
upload will be stored for your use anytime! (Content for which you do not specify a
folder will be stored in a folder titled “Files without folder.”)
Talk Fusion CONNECT presentations support the following file
types: .ppt, .pdf, .jpg, .mp4, .wmv, .flv. (Please Note: Video files will
be transcoded as they are uploaded to provide the highest possible streaming and display quality.)
5. Once you have uploaded your content, clicking on a file in the “Files” window will show it in the
“Preview” window directly below. Drag the files you want to include in your presentation to the right,
into the larger “Presentation Maker” area. You can also select Talk Fusion Pro Videos that are
pre-loaded into your Design Studio.
DESIGNING A PRESENTATION

SCHEDULING A BROADCAST & INVITING ATTENDEES
6. When you have all of your presentation
files in the Presentation Maker, you can
re-order them by clicking the “Sort” button,
then clicking and dragging the elements into
the desired order. It’s easy!
7. Once your presentation is just the way
you want it in the Presentation Maker,
simply click the “Save” button, then give
your presentation a name and click “Save”
again in the pop-up window. Your new presentation will be saved
in Talk Fusion CONNECT, and ready for your next event!
(Please note: Both the official Talk Fusion Business Opportunity Presentation and
Diamond Rush Training are pre-loaded in your Talk Fusion CONNECT presentations.
Please use these pre-loaded presentations when hosting official Talk Fusion events and training.)
Whether you are hosting a Business Opportunity Presentation, Diamond Rush Training or your own Live
Broadcast or Video Conference, scheduling your event always works the same way—and it’s always
simple and quick!
1. Under the
“Broadcasts”
tab in your Talk
Fusion CONNECT
Dashboard, click the
date on which you
want to schedule your broadcast. To change the displayed month, simply click
on the arrow to the right of the month’s name. Once you have highlighted the
date, click the “Add Broadcast” button.
2. In the “Add Broadcast” pop-up window, fill in the information for your event.
Give your event a name that is easy to remember and relates to the specific
subject of the broadcast, and a brief description.
(Please note that the name and description of your event will appear
on your invitation.)
Then, designate a start time and duration for your event.
The Talk Fusion CONNECT scheduler is synced to the time
zone you have set for your Video Communication Center. It
is helpful to schedule your start time 5 or 10 minutes before
you intend to begin your presentation, so you can make any
final checks or adjustments to your presentation while your
guests are logging in.

3. You will also need to select whether you want your event to be a
Live Broadcast or Video Conference.
Live Broadcasts are ideal for making a set presentation for a large
audience of attendees. If you select Live Broadcast, you will be
asked to set further preferences—set your event as public or
private, assign additional presenters, if any, you would like to give
the ability to control the presentation, and choose whether or not
to make this event a recurring broadcast. If you choose to make this
event a recurring broadcast, a new window will open in which you
can choose the frequency. Talk Fusion CONNECT even generates
a static, or unchanging, link for recurring broadcasts, so you don’t
have to keep sending new URLs to your attendees!
You can also select a survey, if any, you would like to give your
presentation attendees. To learn how to create surveys, see
Pages 12-13.
Video Conferences are ideal for collaborating with a set group of attendees, all of whom will be able to
interact in the meeting. If you select Video Conference, you do not need to set any further preferences at
this time. Once you have set the name, description, time, duration
and type of event, click the “Save and Invite” button.
4. In the “Invite” pop-up window, click the “Address Book” button.
5. Here is where you check or update your own contact information,
select the email addresses of the individuals you wish to invite to your
presentation, and compose the
presentation email.
6. You can update your own
contact information in the “Contact
Information” window at the top left
by simply replacing the information
already in the fields.
7. To invite individuals, simply
type their email address into the
“Select Individual Emails” window
and click on the envelope icon, or search your Contact Manager by first or last name. (You can also
remove individuals from the invitation by highlighting their information in the bottom window, and clicking
“Remove Selected.” All individuals can be removed by clicking “Remove All.”

7
8. To invite every person in a folder in your Contact Manager,
simply click on the folder icon next to the folder of your choice
in the “Select Contact Folders” window. Removing entire folders
from your invitation works the same as removing individual
contacts. (Please Note: folder functionality is unavailable in BETA.)
9. Next, you will compose and
send your invitation. Create your
subject line for your invitation
email. In the body, you can use
the handy text editor to customize
your message as you compose.
You can also include links to your social media pages and the official Talk Fusion Blog in your email, by
clicking the box above the Facebook and Twitter icons.
Please Note: the following text is automatically included in your invite message:
Once you are done composing your invitation, you can send it by clicking the “SAVE AND SEND” button.
10. Talk Fusion CONNECT offers you
many ways to enhance your invitation,
engage your recipients and gather
information. To require your attendees
to register for your presentation, click
on the “Registration” tab, and then
check the box next to “YES, Attach
Registration to my Broadcast.”
By default, attendees will be required
to register with their first name, last
name and email address. You may
make other information required, and
add additional comments to your
registration request as well! When you
are finished creating your registration,
just click the “SAVE AND SEND”
button.

8
11. To send your attendees a separate email
reminding them about your presentation, click on
the “Reminder” tab, then check the box next to
“YES, Send Reminder Email to Guests.” You can
choose the time frame for the reminder (1 day or
1 hour before the presentation), create your own
subject and custom body text, and even have
yourself sent a copy of the reminder email. When
you are finished creating your Reminder, simply
click the “SAVE AND SEND” button.
12. If you want to send a follow-up email to your
attendees after the presentation, click on the
“Follow-up” tab, then check the box next to
“YES, Send Follow-up email to Attendees.”
Just select how long after the presentation you
want the email to be sent, create your own email
subject line and custom body text, and check the
available box if you would like to receive a copy
of the follow-up email yourself.
Then just click the “SAVE AND SEND” button!
It’s easy to invite, remind and follow up with your presentation attendees using Talk Fusion CONNECT!
Your presentation has been created, your event has been scheduled, and your attendees have been
invited. Now it’s time to go live, and host your own real-time Live Broadcast or Video Conference.
It’s easy and fun!
1. To start a scheduled Broadcast, log in to your Talk Fusion CONNECT
Dashboard, and click “Launch Now” next to the scheduled presentation below
the calendar in the “Broadcasts” window. This will open a new Waiting Room.
2. In the Waiting Room,
click on the “Start
Broadcast” icon when you
are ready to begin your
presentation. This will take you to the Meeting Room, and your attendees will be
able to see the beginning of your presentation.
Please Note: For best results, please set your screen or monitor to 1600x400 or the
highest possible resolution.
HOSTING YOUR LIVE BROADCAST OR VIDEO CONFERENCE

3. This is where you
host and control every
feature of your Live
Broadcast.
Everything you need
to display slides, play
videos, chat with
attendees, switch
presenters, share your
desktop, draw on the
whiteboard, record
your presentation and
more is all right here!
4. Directly above the
viewing area is your
Presentation Timeline,
where you control the
specific presentation
elements of your Live
Broadcast. Choose
your presentation by
clicking on the Design Studio icon or “down”
arrow next to it, and selecting a presentation
from the drop-down list. Once you select a
presentation, its slides, images and videos
will appear in order horizontally, directly below
your Timeline.
When you click on the first element of your
presentation, it will appear in the viewing area, beginning your presentation. You can view all elements of
your presentation using the Timeline slider bar. (You may also close the Presentation Timeline by clicking
on the small “X” to the right of the Timeline slider bar.)
Navigate forward or backward through your presentation by clicking on the
arrows on the left side of your Live Broadcast Navigator.
To make your presentation appear full-screen, click on the “Expand”
icon to the far right of the Live Broadcast Navigator. You can undo
the full-screen effect and return to your Meeting Room by clicking the
“Expand” icon again:
You can also show attendees files, windows, and more from your
computer with Talk Fusion CONNECT’s Desktop Share.

10
To use Talk Fusion CONNECT’s innovative, industry-leading Desktop
Share, you must have the updated Talk Fusion Toolbar installed on your
computer’s desktop. You can get it by clicking the Desktop Share Client
icon in your Talk Fusion CONNECT Dashboard.
Before starting your Live Broadcast, open and minimize any documents or browser windows you want to
show your attendees using Desktop Share. Then, open your Talk Fusion Toolbar and click on the “Toggle
Desktop Share” button. This will open your Desktop Share Window, and now you are ready to show your
attendees only what you want them to see during your Live Broadcast!
To enable Desktop Share during your Live Broadcast, just click the Desktop Share icon in your Meeting
Room’s Live Broadcast Navigator. The icon will change color to let you know Desktop Share is active.
Now just minimize your presentation window, and drag the file or window you want to show your
attendees into the Desktop Share Window—you can move or resize the Desktop Share Window, and your
attendees will see exactly what you are sharing, as clearly as if it were on their own desktop!
To exit Desktop Share, just bring your presentation window/Internet browser back up, and click on the
Desktop Share icon again.
LIVE BROADCASTING & VIDEO CONFERENCING
Now that you know how to host your own fully featured Live Broadcast, let’s look at the many other
options available during both Live Broadcasts & Video Conferences to help you engage your audience
and deliver the best online interaction experience available anywhere!
5. At the top of your screen during both Live Broadcasts and Video Conferences is your Talk Fusion
CONNECT Event Toolbar, which offers many helpful actions with just a single click:
The “Video” icon opens and closes the Presenter window at the top left of the Meeting
Room. If you are the only Presenter for an event, only the image of you from your computer’s
camera should appear here. If you hand the event off to another presenter, you can still open
or close the Presenter window by clicking here.
The “Presenters” icon lets you allow attendees to your event
turn on and broadcast their own cameras, or block them
from doing so. (Please Note: When an attendee’s microphone is
enabled, other attendees’ microphones are disabled by default.)
The “Chat” icon opens and closes the Chat window.
Open Chat to message all of your attendees or just your
presenters, or close it to bring focus to your presentation!
DESKTOP SHARE

11
The “Attendee List” icon opens and closes the Attendee
List window to show you the total number of attendees
logged into your Live Broadcast or Video Conference.
The Host Presenter controls whether or not the Attendee
List can be viewed by all attendees by clicking on
the “Hide/Show” button. “Hide” means that only the
Presenter can see the Attendee List, while “Show” means
all Attendees can see the Attendee List.
Using the Attendee List, you can give an attendee presenter
rights, allow an attendee to turn on and show their cameras, or
eject an attendee from the event. (Please Note: Ejected attendees will
be blocked from signing back in to the event.)
The “File Share” icon allows you to share any file from your
computer to all of your attendees simultaneously by providing
everyone with a downloadable link.
Click on the icon to open the File Share window, then click
“Choose File” to browse your computer. Once you have
selected the file, click the “Upload” button to share it with
everyone on your Live Broadcast or Video Conference.
The “Whiteboard” icon allows you to draw or make notes on your
presentation, and lets your attendees see them in real time. (Please
Note: Whiteboard functionality disabled in Video Conferencing mode.)
Clicking on the “Whiteboard” icon opens your Whiteboard controls.
Just click and drag your onscreen pointer to circle elements, create
arrows or draw notes. You can even adjust the thickness and color
of your lines!
Click on the “Record” icon to save your entire event for review and sharing. Recorded
events will appear on the Recordings page in your Talk Fusion CONNECT Dashboard
shortly after your event ends.
From there, it’s easy to generate a link to share your recorded event
with anyone! (Please Note: Recording functionality unavailable in BETA.)
Clicking on the “End Broadcast” icon immediately ends any event.
Using any combination of these incredible features, you can host a Live Broadcast for up to 500
attendees, or collaborate with up to 15 participants on a Video Conference! Talk Fusion recommends that
you host a few “test” Live Broadcasts and Video Conferences with a small group to familiarize yourself
with the wide variety of options, and find out what works best for your needs.

Talk Fusion CONNECT includes resources
to help you get valuable feedback from your
event attendees and insight from analysis of
your presentations. These tools can help you
tailor your approach to achieve the most successful results! Let’s start with
Surveys, which can be attached to your broadcasts for your attendees to
fill out.
Let’s start with Surveys, which can be
attached to your broadcasts for your
attendees to fill out. Create your Surveys
before scheduling your events so you
can add one to your presentation with a
single click!
1. In your Talk Fusion CONNECT
Dashboard, click on the “Surveys”
icon in your Quick Links Toolbar.
2. This is your Surveys page, where you create questionnaires for your event attendees, and set your
preferences. Give your new Survey a title that is memorable, and directly relates to the subject matter.
3. Once you have titled your Survey, you can choose between 2 formats, “Rate from 1 to 5” or “Multiple
Choice,” or include both. If you select “Rate from 1 to 5,” You simply need to type your questions into the
“Question” field one at a time, clicking “ADD TO SURVEY” after each question is entered.
If you select “Multiple Choice,” you will need to type in answer options for each question before clicking
“ADD TO SURVEY.” Please note that, whichever Survey option you choose, you must create at least 3
questions.
(TIP: To simplify Multiple Choice Surveys for your attendees, try providing answer options such as “I agree,” “I neither agree nor
disagree,” and “I disagree,” etc.)
SURVEYS & REPORTS

13
4. All Surveys offer you the opportunity to add a Feedback
Question, which will allow the attendee to type in his or her own
comments.
5. When you are satisfied with your Survey, you can choose
between requesting that attendees fill it out immediately after
the broadcast, or having a follow-up email containing the Survey
sent to the attendee automatically. Make your selection, then
click the “SAVE” button.
It’s that simple!
You can create as many Surveys as you like, and attach any survey
to any presentation as you are scheduling your event (see Page 5).
Now let’s see how you can generate reports after your
presentations to get valuable information and refine your approach!
1. In your Talk Fusion CONNECT Dashboard, click on the “Reports”
icon in your Quick Links Toolbar.
2. This is your Reports page, where you can generate powerful
analytics on demand!
To get started, select the type of Report
you wish to generate. Different Reports
yield different types of information, from
the number of attendees who attended or
watched your broadcasts to details regarding
individual attendees or Survey results.
3. Next, select a date range for your Report.
You can select 30, 60 or 90-day intervals, or
input your own custom date range.
4. Select the broadcast for which you want to
generate the Report from the list in your date
range.
5. And finally, select the file format you prefer,
.xls or .csv.
You can download and review your new
Report at any time, and all of your Reports
will be stored in Talk Fusion CONNECT and
visible in your Dashboard for easy reference.
