How to Fusion Summon
At the appropriate timing, a player can Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck by first declaring the activation of a card effect that Fusion Summon. Following this, they select the Fusion Monster in their Extra Deck that they intend to Fusion Summon. The player preform an appropriate action stated in the activated cards on the Fusion Materials, as listed on the Fusion Monster itself. After that, takethe Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck and place it on an unoccupied Extra Monster Zone or Link Point in face-up Attack or Defense Position.
For card that Fusion Summon, see list: Fusion Summons.
For Monster that can be used as a Fusion Material in a place of the required Materials, see: Fusion Substitute Monster.

Example 3: Fusion Summon using Multiple Materials
+ A named Fusion Material ("Cyber Dragon")
+ Appropriate Fusion Material
+ Additional Fusion Material
+ Additional Fusion Material
= A Fusion Monster that list multiple Materials ("Chimeratech Overdragon")
Advanced rulings
If a monster is Special Summoned from your Extra Deck by a card effect, it is not treated as a Fusion Summon, unless stated on the card. For example Special Summoning a monster from your Extra Deck using "Cyber-Stein" is not considered a Fusion Summon.
Normally, Fusion Monsters cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard or Banished Zone unless they were properly Fusion Summoned first before being sent there. You cannot use "Re-Fusion" to revive a Fusion Monster that has been Special Summoned using "Cyber-Stein" or sent to the Graveyard by "Fusion Guard". Fusion Summoned Monsters can be revived using cards such as "Re-Fusion" unless stated otherwise.
In the anime
While visual depictions of Fusion Summons have varied significantly among the different anime series, most generally show the Fusion Materials, or their cards, being warped into particles or forms of energy in a spiral direction, which then merge with each other within a spiraling portal, from which the Fusion Monster emerges. It is not until Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V where a standardized version of this method is adopted for all Fusion Summons, with the portal consisting of blue and orange swirls of energy, referencing the artwork of "Polymerization", and the Fusion Material Monsters transforming into differently colored forms of energy (usually the colors being contrasting ones like blue/red, yellow/violet, etc.), which then swirl together into a spiral before entering the portal. Fusion Summon practitioners usually clasp their hands together at the moment the monsters combine, seemingly mirroring that the materials become one.
Prior to ARC-V, another depiction of Fusion Summon, notably used for "Dark Paladin" and "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste", shows the Fusion Materials being engulfed in a sphere of energy, which then disperses to reveal the Fusion Monster. Other times, the Fusion Monster emerges from a fierce whirlwind.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, under Battle City Rules, which applied during the Battle City tournament, Fusion Monsters cannot attack the same turn they are Summoned. This is exemplified in episode 65, when Strings uses "Quick Attack" on "Humanoid Worm Drake" to bypass that rule in his Duel against Yami Yugi. This rule does not exist in the OCG/TCG and was removed for all subsequent series.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, a Fusion Summon performed using Fusion Materials that have been previously Pendulum Summoned is referred to as a "Pendulum-Fusion".
