Scenario: Say you are using Office Communicator’s (OC) audio/video capabilities with your peers and your discussion is directed at a document found on your machine. You are editing the document during the conversation and it would be beneficial for everyone to see edits as they are made. From OC, with a click of a button, you start a Live Meeting (LM) session and everyone in...
