2. In this article there is an overview of netmeeting and livemeeting
from Microsoft .
NetMeeting
Definition: is a software application for
audio and video conferencing. NetMeeting
offers sharing of desktop video, audio,
chat and file transfer functionality.
NetMeeting supports directory servers and
services. NetMeeting uses may
automatically register with a directory
when they start their NetMeeting client.
The directory then allows users to find
online users by name or location. If no
directory is available, NetMeeting users
can also call each other directly by
computer name or IP address.
Once connected to other users, NetMeeting places all parties in a
"call." NetMeeting tracks the call roster and allows users to share
their desktop windows, to chat, transfer files, or share a VoIP feed.
NetMeeting supports dozens of simultaneous users in a call. It
supports users over any type of IP network connection including
dialup service. However, the overall performance of a NetMeeting
call generally suffers when dialup users are connected.
Microsoft ships NetMeeting with the Microsoft Windows operating
system. "Conf.exe" is the NetMeeting client executable. Windows XP
leaves conf.exe inactive by default and requires special user
configuration to enable it.
Microsoft has ceased future development of NetMeeting and
announced plans to phase out this tool in favor of a new service
called Office Live Meeting.
3. Live Meeting
Microsoft Office Live Meeting 2007 is an online meeting space that
your organization subscribes to or that your organization hosts
internally. You can meet with your colleagues online, which allows
you to collaborate in real-time, even over long distances. Microsoft
Office Live Meeting 2007 is installed on your computer, allowing you
to connect to meetings (whether they are hosted on your
organization’s servers or on the Microsoft Office Live Meeting
service). The power of live meeting is that meeting attendees can
deliver a presentation, kick off a project, brainstorm ideas, edit
files, collaborate on whiteboards, and negotiate deals from their
personal computer at a fraction of the cost and without the hassle
of travel.
